  Funny creature this wine - had it on 2 separate occasions weeks apart with 180 degree contrast. Earlier, the nose was invitingly cool, fruity and peppery. Good complexity and fine texture, a bit of roundness and fresh red fruit that prevents it from being austere. Mint, spice and fruit all in proportion - harmonious yet robust. Lingering finish. Easily high 80s.
  
  Just 2 weeks later - highly alcoholic nose which didn't blow away, just a whiff of black fruit. Thin entry, builds a little to a peppery mid-palate, then hard astringency kicks in. Poured the whole thing into a decanter, but did not really improve over the evening. V short finish. Not sure if a long decant is the answer to the wild discrepency between the 2 tastings. Not rated.
