Phil's Coravin exploration (Phil's place, Putney, Sydney): From Coravin. Plentiful alcohol lends spice to the nose, fruit is more than a little dried out for me and stripped. Beneath this raisins, prunes, dried figs, a touch of volatility. A lot of alcohol on the palate, volatile, tannic grip in the middle of the mouth, similar dried out flavours. Lusciously sweet. Nope.

Opened today and decanted 2 hours. The alcohol is hot, hot, hot and is obscuring any fruit that may be there, even when accompanying a rich Christmas pudding. I've little experience with VP and will have another look over the next couple of days etc but either way to young (hopefully) or...
After 24 and 48 hours the alcohol had integrated, but while it was a nice wine it wasn't terribly complex.

Trying to learn port a little bit here.
Seems still young and not super complex at this stage. Was (too) easy to drink. Ripe.
