  at first it was a little unforgiving and uncompromising. the obvious conclusion was that it was simply too young. this opinion was confirmed when it opened up after an hour or so.
  eventually, it's brash acidic and tannic nature receded and the savoury and meaty tones took control. it was never awesome, but it did please eventually. i'd advise holding for another couple of years if you like mature wines. if you're looking for fruit bombs you are too late.

  Attractive dark ruby colour, cooked plums on the nose, bit of an alcoholic burn on the nose. Nice fruit flavours, heavy but pleasant tannins, red, forest fruits medium length. Decent.

  Dark ruby red, nose opens with a bit of air, very attractive dark fruits, little nose burn astringency. Given time opens up beautifully, mediums weight, heavy tannins, but lovely mouthful of fruit.

  Ruby red with no fading. Very tight on opening, light bodied and astringent with simple cherry and wood notes on nose and palate and a little tobacco and spice on the finish. Fills out substantially with air, gaining body, dark fruit flavours and considerable tannic weight. Have to conclude that this is still way too young.
