  • Over the top, but still some life left actually. Was surprised how well it still holds up. Considering the price at release it's impressive.

  • Two bottles pulled from the same row in my cellar and as different as could be. One a closed, kinda old weird red that was still drinkable, and the other a plush, fruity delight. Both left sediment in the paper filter and were decanted identically. In any case, the first was okay for the Poker game and the other was worth going back to - and I have another case left in the cellar to explore... ASAP

  • Root Day - Decanted off a small amount of sediment. Pours translucent garnet into the glass with browning edge. Nose of crushed leaves and herbs with leather and tobacco, some acetic acid, dust and a light touch of dried black fruit. Very complex and interesting nose. On the palate it’s still got some light ripe tannins giving it life along with medium plus acidity. Flavours are red and black fruit with some acetic acid but it smooths out showing garrigue on the back palate. The finish is long with tobacco, dried fruit, herbs and leather. The acetic acid appears to be building with subsequent sips. Going to see where it goes over the next couple of hours.
    Next Day - Root Day - it has not changed (only a glass left for today) and is delightful. Silky smooth on the palate with the tobacco, garrigue, dried fruit all still present and fully appreciated.
