Rich overripe fruit and exotic spice, supple texture but somehow not heavy. Perfect pairing with a citrus za’atar roasted chicken

Medium garnet with a medium wide garnet rim . Quite thick tears . A little high toned with an earthy tobacco , old wood , sous bois , spiced cherry , ripe blackberry note . On the palate this is quite rounded and juicy with sweet tannins spiced red plum , dark cherry and cassis . Ok balanced acidity , slightly warming alcohol . Medium spiced red plum and cherry finish . With more time in the glass this starts to become a little disjointed, I would recommend drinking this at a more or less cellar temperature, which wasn’t the case here . Ready now , still on its plateau of maturity but best from now and over the next 5 or so years .

Woooooh this is (even with a 6 hour decant) still so juvenile.
Yes it has an interesting nose but not at all in the window that you would expect at 18 years old.
Lets see what day 2 brings….
