Lovely clean finish wine. Tasted after 2 hour decant. Definitely changed with time. More pepper came out but still not as spicy as I expected. I can see why a food pairing was turkey. I found it a little light for the lamb we had paired it with. Will wait a year to try the next one.

Tasted after a two hour decant. Beautiful aromas of sweet black fruit, cured meat, floral, herbal & oak. On the palate, medium bodied tart black fruit, blackberry/cassis/blueberry, somewhat herbaceous, well integrated oak, medium to high acidity & medium soft tannins. Finish is long to black pepper. The fruit & savoury elements of this wine balance out nicely with the acid & tannins. And the aromas are at least as good as the flavour. Well done! Savoury notes really shining through on night #3.
