  Clear, dark red colour. Sweet musk, dark cherry and cedar on nose. Smooth, rounded mouthfeel. Dark fruits, cedar and spice flavours. Medium to long finish with a rounded, creamy mouthfeel. Very enjoyable.

  Drunk over 3 days
  Colour: dark red, turning slightly brownish at the rim.
  Nose: cherry and a little plum, distinct oak spice and damp earth with some tobacco and mint.
  Palate: medium-bodied; on the fruit side, mainly sour cherry predominates, perhaps also some plum and a few dark berries; however, the fruit component of the wine is altogether discreet; rather dominating are the grainy, medium to strong tannins, which still dry out slightly and end on a bitter note; the acidity is clearly palpable and makes the wine appear quite cool; medium-long finish, which is still very much characterised by tart tannins and spicy (wood-) aromas.
  A medium-complex wine that, in my opinion, still needs some maturity. Rather to be used as a food companion than as a soloist. Maybe there will be something more in the next few years.

  Decanted for 2 hours. Seemed to be in a pretty good place. Black fruits with mushroomy qualities. Could hold for longer.

  it has nice balance and length and drinks really well right now. It is smooth and bright but I am missing some fruit to score higher
