  Not the best expression of LPV but ok as a daily drinker.

  This has come together nicely. It tasted a little dis-jointed in the past but no longer. Splash decant, back in the bottle for 3 hours and that's what it needed. No ripeness here, just a great bottle of wine!

  Drank over 3 days. While very intense and full bodied, I didn’t get the aromatics I expected… it didn’t really open up. Maybe just a dumb phase. Otherwise it is still quite young, in its early drinking window but the tannins need another maybe 2 years to reach peak? Hard to tell.

  Really liked this and found myself enjoying it more and more through the evening. Not a style I enjoyed a lot several years ago but palates change and I find myself much more appreciative of these wines. Lots of rich fruit with more low-toned earthy and tobacco notes adding depth, and the alcohol's high but in balance throughout. Decanting helps a lot - the oak's more apparent initially but plays a background role with air, and I find myself enjoying the second glass an hour later a lot more because of this. Leftovers hold up really well and a couple of glasses the next day are really fantastic.
