This needed a lot of air to show at its best, after an hour or so decanted it was still quite mute so we put in back in the bottle and it was great the next day, plenty of brambly fruit and some Middle Eastern spice, dried rose petals and more, patience still required !

Yes! Reduced at first but then goes into regular All-Star Envínate mode - cherries, raspberries, licorice, stone, black olives and stone warm herbs. All in a silky and fresh package. No sign of slope, just peak all the way. Love this stuff.

Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, stony minerality, a note of green undergrowth and an initial hint of playful spritz, no reductive aromas at all though. No VA either. A little chewy and a hint of leather. Definitely bigger and more structured than Seoane, compromising a bit on quaffability I suppose but no problem for me - very tasty. Approachable at pop and pour aswell.

So juicy and irresistable, the warm vintage works well for this normally restrained bottling. Still floral, lively, and mineral, despite some darker mysterious currents. -2023

Vigorous decant 90min works to counter initial reduction and let the lively, dark-fruited genie out of the bottle.
