imilar colour to the Noval. Similar deep chocolaty nose to the Noval too. More blueberry than blackberry with a notch more concentration. Richer seeming, slightly more extract but no additional astringency. Soft yet full bodied and long. You can drink this now, but perhaps its value (compared to the Noval) will be better displayed given more time. 92/100 Oxidation on day 2 was unexpected.
