Improved with air over 4 hours. Aromatics and flavor profile red and savory. Finished a bit too short. Lacked a bit of structure and backbone to support the flavors and finish....had those been there the experience would have been exemplary. As it stood, it was terrific. This is fading and I'd recommend drinking up. Great bottle and sadly, my last.

Still loads of fruit, full bodied with good acidity and long finish.

A bit tart for me, but that seems to settle down after 45 minutes at which point the fruit and earth become more prominent.
Still on the tart side, good nose, very good length. Dried cherry and dried sagey spicy nose.

Waited until 2016. Quite earthy, less fruit, still quite structured. Perhaps try the next one in 2018...
