P&p. Quite primary - attractive blackcurrant sort of fruit aroma, with touches of earth and moderate cedar-like/spicy oak. Lots of tannic grip. Nice fresh acidity as well. Fairly full-bodied, but lifted nicely by the acidity. Fun wine but way young; or at least don't p&p like I did? Still tasty though. Best with food (went well with biltong).

Open the bottle two hours in advance. 30 minutes before serving, place it in ice water. It began to open nicely and has developed better than my last bottle from a year ago. I will buy this wine again.

Drank in a restaurant, and just enering its drinking window, this is a very pleasant drink. Re longevity it is probably better to be drinking over the next decade.

From Coravin. Medium minus intensity aromas of plums and cherry over blackcurrant with a slight herbaceous underpin. On the palate it's quite dense and thick, tannins are talc textured but persistent and drying, fruit is not dominated. A little alcohol warmth on the finish. Obviously this is vinfanticide but shows promise.

Juicy, bright, crisp, sharp red fruits, green olives, cedar and forest leaf define this classically styled, medium-bodied wine.
