Lovely. Tannins there for good structure. Earth and forest in a wonderful balance. Fruit not gone. Lived on as it remained open. Stronger after 4 hrs.

Sometimes mere words just can't do a wine justice - but we can try 😃. Complex, earthy, mature, elegant, layered, graphite, etc. a real treat.

I invite the critics to taste this wine again. Layers and layers of flavour, massive structure and concentration. A wine to re-taste not before 10 years.

Oct 8th, 2018Good balance of tertiary forest floor, mushroom and liquorice with stewed forest fruits. Tannins soft and not much of the structure left. Definitely not worth keeping for much longer.
