Last bottle out of 3 originally bought. The first 2 were tight, closed and not pleasant. Think this bottle needed some more time to open up. Decanted for 2 hours, paired with burgers and it was delicious. Rustic style, earthier elements mixed in with fruit.

Drinking well now. Cassis and boysenberry with stone on nose. Good fruit on first taste, dusty tannins coat tongue on finish. Much better than a bottle I opened a year ago which was closed and muted.

This one is in the pipe, 5x5. After a 45 minute decant, it was still closed. After 1.5 hours, this puppy hit its stride. Cinnamon, clove and blackberry on the nose. Jammy, black fruits, acidic and oaky vanilla notes with fine tannin. My humble opinion, this one is at or near the height of its drinking period. Cheers fancies

Really nothing to write home about. Drinkable but nothing to it. Would dump if anything lower. Disappointing. Drink now or dump later.
