Double decanted to remove the sediment. Nose of truffle and undergrowth. In the mouth few if any tannins, so very smooth. The undergrowth still present along with some dark fruits. Tastes like it is already needing to be drunk up, though even the conservative Wine Soc gives it until 2027.

Brief note from memory. Little bit disappointed by how this showed. Some shy dark fruit, a little oak polish but all rather reserved on nose and palate. Seemed that only the last glass on day 2 the wine relaxed and let a purity of blackberry fruit properly emerge. In a closed phase, perhaps?

Color : medium + red with purple tone.
Nose : not much, but some leather
Taste : bit flat. Unexpectedly seems already over the top.

Early days but ready to drink. Still primary. The fruit is quite sweet and ripe but it’s not soft or flabby.
