2nd of 12 (375ml). (note, I didn't have time to decant this, but I think it would have helped). Ripe nose of cherries, blueberries, blackberries, raisins and plums, along with black licorice, cedar, violets and a little mineral / volcano note. On the palate, the fruit is sweet with a raisin, prune and dried fig aftertaste. The tannins are massive and drying on the finish. This needs time. 92+

The wine seems to have "shut down" and will require a lot of decanting to get it to show its qualities. Overall, there is plenty of fruit and balance but it lacks an overall energy at the moment. Still, a solid performance.

Dense with fruit, but lively and elegant rather than syrupy, balanced but not with any felt sense of acidity. Long and quite seamless from start to finish with great aromatic purity and ultra-refined tannins. No sense of heat. Develops well over the course of a week or so. Highly promising, beautiful wine.

Drank over four days. Dense. Awkward initially, getting better towards the end. Enjoyable.

Massive tannins and tons of fruit. Needs time. A really fine wine!
