Ripe and plush, a bit one dimensional and obvious, maybe will integrate and evolve, unsure. Drank alongside good bordeaux over 4 hours, was stuttering in that company.

If the wife likes it, I guess it is great. Ok, review: Dark color; aromas of blackberries, forest and flint; flavors of blackberry, currant, and boysenberry; a very smooth body wine with mild acidity and tannins. I easily see another 3-5 years in bottle, however, this wine is drinking very well now, so enjoy. Is it worth the money...Yes.

From 375ml. Drank upon PNP and finished within a few hours. Nose is mostly primary but already very well balanced. No dominating vanilla or woody notes. Beautifully layered blueberry, cassis palate with a nice mocha and licorice underbelly. Yogurt-y finish, acidic and creamy.

Balanced and fragrant bouquet, ripe black and blue fruits, dark chocolate, cigar box, star anise and graphite. Classy and sophisticated nose. Persistent palate, rich, fresh and harmonious. Almost full-bodied structure which is polished and open. Seamless transition from entry to finish. Aftertaste of gentle ripe fruit, clove and licorice. This needs an hour in the decanter, potential for further aging for the next 3 years. A wine that will last for at least 15 years.
