The fruit is more advanced than I was hoping but there’s plenty of vigorous length and structure

Gamy, leathery and earthy. Somehow quite sweet on the finish. All dried blackfruits.

Seems to be in a good stage of development- nicely softened tannins. Juicy blackberry, game and violets. Drink this with bloody steak or by a winter fire.

Unfortunately this is my last bottle of 6. The 4(ish) opened after 2015 were pretty great.

This is rounding into form, showing dark berry fruit, dried herbs and black olives.

Infanticide? Tannins starting to bark less but this is all coiled, very dry black fruit energy.
