Purchased two cases of this upon release and it seems to be doing pretty well as investment. Which is lucky as there's not enough there for me at this stage to justify drinking the wine at this price. Admittedly this was the "early bottle" opened on a special occasion and this young, it could be in an early closed down phase for all I know. Dark, rich and pretty full-bodied Bordeaux blend with good berry fruit and soft tannins. A very solid wine but blind, I never would have guessed it was anything like a £300 bottle of Sassicaia. I will check back on the next bottle in a few years but that second case might have to pay for the other one..
Strong notes of leather and tobacco. Not as well balanced as previous bottles and quite tight. Maybe in a shutdown period? Going to wait a few years before opening another I think.
Very strong. Rich, savory, with just enough fruit to tickle the senses. Nice acid, too. Drank with NYE dinner (braised short ribs), and it paired perfectly.
