Tasted blind. Medium light garnet , showing more age than wine 1 , quite wide garnet terracotta rim . More spice , with a sweet tobacco , dried raspberry , some cherry and earthy herbal , black tea notes . This is more tertiary than 1 wine . On the palate this also has quite high acidity, lightly gritty tannin with dried cherry , herbal hints . Quite fresh herbal tinged finish . Ok length . This improved quite a bit with air , showing more fruit and floral character after a while . This is probably close to peak drinking now but no rush should continue to show well over the next 5-10 years or so

Deeper colour ruby still with garnet rim . Quite floral nose , more fresh fruits , mix of red and dark . On the palate more dense , slightly riper but still fresh , darker fruit , quite wild and detailed . Well balanced acidity , quite gritty tannin , fills out well on the palate . Good length , drinking well now but will age longer over the next 8-10 years .
