This is not the 2014. It's the 2016; which is not quite finished. Not finished until it goes into bottle. On the nose, candied fruits & perfumed delicate florals. Ripe, lean and full flavored fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, cherries, candied raspberries, soft delicate spices, Christmas cake, nearly sweet soft dark earth, perfect acidity & finish. Makes you want to open another bottle and then another.

On the palate, blackberries, blueberries, plum, dark cherries, perfumed liquid violets & lavender, smooth acid, medium warm spiced, unstated cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon, sweet soft tarry notes, black cherry cola/licorice, even softer more beautiful tannins and perfect acidity. The finish has fine Burgundian ripe fruits, soft earthiness and pure elegance.
