A bomb of dark berries, plums, blueberries, vanilla, cedar and some Five Spice offer plenty of interest from the outset. The more it sits the more it opens to reveal Dutch cocoa, and dare I say, some Maccas chocolate fudge. The savoury aspect has some get up and go and builds wonderfully showcasing dried thyme, sage and some woodsy spices. The oak is prominent but will calm - this is built for the long haul. For now, that is what pulls it back a notch, but give it time and it will become a magical wine. Long, flavoursome and seemingly boundless with oceans of depth, this is a comfort wine you could say. Decant for now or tuck away for later. I'd take the second choice and reap the reward from 2025+
