Deep, dark, lush, full bodied, Moreno cherry, eucalyptus, mint, herbs. 14% quite punchy. Drunk over 2 nights. Held up under vacuvon but best on first night.

outshone by a Kusuda 2013 partnered with it but nonetheless an enjoyable wine. deep and brooding with kirsh notes and a touch of smokiness. moderate acidity and tannin Drinks perfectly fine now but I will try not to revisit mine for another 5 years to mellow a little and develop some more tertiaries

This has improved very well since about a year ago. Love the barnyard cherry 🐖🍒 smell on this😜. Palette is pure, medium bodied with mellow integrated tannins. Almost velvet. Also gained in complexity since last tasting. Really like this bottle. Definitly 93+.

A completely different experience than previous bottles opened last year. PnP and the first few glasses i felt like i was drinking a cool vintage Cab Sauv from Napa. Wonderful inky and flinty palette with dark fruit. Then the last couple of glasses it totally flipped to a burgundian NSG style punchy fruit cored pinot and pungent earthiness. While at no time the wine could be characterised as complex, it was nonetheless a fun bottle to drink.

Enjoyed after 1h of decanter. At first quite reductive. After air nice aromas of herbs, cherries and black berries. Complex and intriguing.
