I had the last bottle in 2015 (9.2) and didn‘t think it had developed so well, very polished yet powerful fruit, slight sharpness, shame it was the last bottle — 18 days ago

High intensity aromas of black fruits - blackberries, black currants, blueberries. Dark and milk chocolate, cocoa, coffee and sage. Palate matches the nose but interestingly, not as intense as you would expect from the bouquet. — 10 months ago
