4 hour decant. Black fruits, cherry, raspberry, tea and hint of tobacco. Nice finish and kudos to Roy for a great first release.

This was probably WOTN. This epitomized drinking a wine at peak. It was perfectly ready. Very red fruit dominant on the nose with some scorched baked black cherry and cardamom, but the palate was a mix of red and black fruit. Some cinnamon. Little tannic bite. Cola and cedar too. This tasted like it was made for tonight...incredible, @Roy Piper !

There's still some new oak that needs to integrate, but doubtless this is an amazing first effort! Juicy, rich, pretty bold and seriously dark fruit scented, it also caresses the palate with sweet, grainy tannins and faint minerality.

A little disappointing tonight. Slightly sour and not much in the mid-palate.

Happy Father’s Day to me!

I have been waiting awhile to open this and it did not disappoint. 3 hour decant. Tannins are already nicely integrating and the fruit is on all show. But this really wins on the finish. I lost count of how long. A job well done
