  We all loved this wine! Especially as it opened up during the evening-yummy!

  Big, bold and Lush in an undeniable new world style.
  Dark fruit/berries, some eucalyptus and juniper wood in the elegant polished oak on the nose.
  Very dense, velvety coating mouthfeel. Dark fruit, sweet liqourice, arctic blueberry bush, pine nuts and some animalic backbone notes. Tannins are polished but fairly bright - leaning more towards grape seed/vegetal than leathery or woody.
  15.1% ABV but nicely integrated so while the heat is there, it does not seem out of place.
  
  Drinking very well now!
  Better day 1 than Day 2 so perhaps time to drink up.
  
  Decanted for 2h, Glass Riedel Veritas Merlot.

  Pretty mellow, I thought it would be much bigger and oaky.

  This was awesome. My last bottle and I’ll miss it. Smooth tannins, blueberry and cedar with a slight mineral taste.

  Decanted 45 minutes then consumed over the next 2 hours. Nicely balanced with good red and black fruits with hints of pencil shavings. Finish was nice and long. Very enjoyable.
