Great wine, paired really well with the pork stir fry we had. Definitely better RIGHT after opening. As it sat it lost some of its complexity

Liked this at the start of the evening but the longer it was open the hotter it got. Lost favor with that. Pop and pour. Not as good two hours later.

Very nice. Blue, dark brambly fruit with a nice squirt of acid to keep it in balance.

Concentrated red fruit aromas and gentle spice. The palate shows ripe cherries and raspberries with cinnamon spice and earthy minerals. Good structure and lively acidity. The finish has firm tannins and ends with toasty oak and hints of cacao that lingers about medium in length. Needs time to develop.

A magnificent bottle, with an incredible and youthfully looking colour. Perfect cork. Soaring aromatics with great fruit and dominated by dark berries and blood orange additions. Defined. Fresh and even elegant despite its weight and texture, offering sweet tannins and a cherry fruit infused finish. All integrated oak. Bursting with life. Impressive, to say the least.

Jan 5th, 2016A bit tired and filled with raised plums, completely dissolved tannins and fine acidity, but it has lost most of it's presence.
