Gorgeous berries. Tangy fruit with great purity and lift. Very fresh. Not many secondary notes yet. A little leather bit mainly fresh, gorgeous 3-D fruit

Lighter medium ruby , wide ruby garnet rim . In colour at least apparently older than the others , which of course it is. This shows quite a lot of aromatic interest , with more sweet spicy red fruits , red plum , cherry , spiced rose , red currant , so charming and complex , cigar box also . On the palate this is also more red fruited , with spiced red cherry , raspberry , red currant , some blackberry and also floral hints , mineral and hickory . Very detailed and precise , great refreshing acidity , fine but detailed noticable tannins . Long very fine , elegant , slightly saline red fruited finish. This is showing well with a little time in decanter though obviously no rush , from now and over the next 15 years or so . This is so pretty and detailed , aromatically so beautiful , it also looses none of its charm on the palate . A complete triumph .

With a 2 hour 15 minute decant the wine was initially overpowering with earth, dark blackberries and blood red cherries. But as time passed the wine settled down extremely harmoniously with the same flavors albeit more muted and was drinking brilliantly around the three hour mark. It was always superbly balanced right from the start. A star!

Massive sweet tannins and fruit! Salty mineral terroir combined with red and black fruits. Exceptional. 100 across the board deservedly so.
