It’s starting to open up now … Showing more fruit and less of those tertiary notes. Interesting.<\/p>\n

90 mins …<\/strong>
Still better than expected – drinks well. Palate is certainly better than the nose, which has gone graphite, pencil shavings and cedar.<\/p>\n

Now it’s all cedar and wood chips.<\/p>\n

It had a good run and I enjoyed more than half the bottle. If you have any, don’t decant, you’ll kill this wine. Take it slow, right from the bottle.<\/p>\n
