Black fruits, eucalyptus. Medium bodied, balanced fruits, tannins and acids. Decent finish. Drank over 3 nights using the Repour device with little change at all.

A four hour decant was nowhere near enough. Retried again 24 hours later, still a tough baby.
This is obviously fine wine but right now it is unapproachable. And I don’t think it’s likely to be otherwise this side of 2028. A tannic monster. I think I did myself a tongue injury after one glass.
Dark, ruby. Blackberry, cedar on the nose. Some mint and traces of eucalyptus. Medium plus acidity, medium tannin, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol, long length. Same as nose on palate. A very good, elegant wine with years ahead of it still.
