Quite pleasing - a delightful discovery. Super fine, trades power for elegance. On the feminine side, with classic plum/chocolate/spice character but with the volume and oak turned down a notch, showcasing purity. Delicate tannin, good acidity. Shows it’s 14% very well, 15 year window, my guess. Drinking well after a 4 hour decant.
