Trial balloon. From Coravin. Funky nose to start with, benefits from breathing. Probably sulphur but it does go away. It gets better and better, give it a minimum of one hour, an hour and half is even better. Remarkably smooth, precise, deep without feeling too dense or jammy; black fruit dominate: blackberries, dark cherry notes. Brilliant future ahead. Great wine. 95 for now. Could be more in a few years.

Lovely. White pepper. Cote rotie with a South African twist. Impeccable balance on palate. Decant.

Not a good day, maybe, but I didn’t enjoy this very much.
