Fully mature nose of tobacco, cocoa powder and dried black fruits. Dusty tannins have mellowed out a little. Still showing a powerful, ripe structure. Drink now!

This really benefitted from a few hours of air, as it seemed a bit reduced and muddled on opening. It blossomed into something more enjoyable, with stewed blackberries, coffee, and burnt ember on the palate. Finished with a touch of alcoholic warmth.

Strong Cedar, black fruits, graphite, menthol and violets on the nose. Drinking really well right now. Great texture with plums and minerals. Dry finish
