  Hugely surprising wine and definitely peaking right now. There is still a touch of fresh cherry fruit but a solid depth and with plenty of complexity.
  Medium-long length with a lovely acidic finish.

  Mature, bricking and garnet color. Fantastic nose, still lively with nice acidity, fully integrated tannin and an austere finish. Notes of plums, prunes, sour cherry and dried cranberries. WOTN… a beauty.

  Quick double decant and drank over an hour. Similar experience as previous bottles but this one was a notch above. Slightly offputting musky nose but drinking beautifully. Fully mature but holding for now. Will revisit another bottle in a few months.

  PnP. Rusty dark brown with brownish edges and clear miniscus. Beautiful expressive nose of sweet savory herbs, sweet cigar box, peppermint, damp closet. On the palate, heat, intense acidity on the front of the tongue, medium weight. Finish of tart bitter oak. Medium length.
