From 75cl screwcap, decanted 1 hour. Dark, dark dark. Iodine/licqorice/black cherry/clove scent; menthol-cooling, astringent entry; intense mid-palate with everything already mentioned + gamey venison/kalamata olive. Tannic finish becomes more friendly with time and air. I prefered this 2 years ago when it was still plush; it remains excellent, however, and has a savoury future until perhaps 2024. 90P

From 75cl screwcap. Quick decant, continued to improve until final drop 1 hour later. Medium-bodied, highly refined black cherry-led PN. Linear from entry to finish, polished tannins, some menthol and spice. Excellent value at 23 EUR cellar door price. 90P

From 75cl screwcap, best 1 hour after opening. Fine black cherry fruit, menthol, healthy sweetness and quite some weight (14% alc.), bright acidity. Ready now but no hurry; a serious, thought-provoking SB. 90P

From 75cl screwcap. Ooops. Perhaps this is closing up? Very pure, but thin black cherry fruit, mean and inexpressive. I'll let my remaining bottles sleep and report back (in 1 -2 years?) 87P(?)

From 75cl screwcap. Why am I the only person on CT drinking this very serious, concentrated yet fresh and exuberant Pinot Noir? As lovely as ever, with a hint of olive tampenade I can't remember from previous bottles. Years to go. 90P
