  This showed well tonight! Somewhat drying dark plum, seductive perfume, a little leather that has just been polished note on the nose, generous palate but tightening finish steals some length that i think will soften with a few more years when it should really hit its stride

  Deep garnet ruby red. Leather and earthy on the nose with some spices and dark berries. Medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Dark berries on the attack of the palate with some savory nuances and spiced earthiness. Long finish. Drink till 2028.

  Day five on the cruise and this night at Giovanni's Table, the Italian restaurant, aboard the Allure of the Seas. We decided to open up two South African beauties for this.
  
  Deep mix of ruby and garnet red. Very earthy on the nose with savory and slightly stinky characteristics. A touch green as well. Heavy tannins (7/10) and medium plus to full bodied. Dark berries on the attack of the palate with some dark cocoa and cinnamon notes. Long finish with some cedar notes. Drink till 2028.

  Young for sure and will only get better, but I needed something robust to go with a by strip and this went perfectly, 3 hour decant reveals plums, black raspberries, dark cherries, fresh herbs and perfume on the nose, despite its youth it has a smooth integrated texture, but with substantial back bone in place for further development generous fruit throughout the medium plus length finish. Will try wait 6-7 years until I pop my other bottle
