Smooth after decanting - with hints of plum. Drank during the blizzard.

Tough to love this one, it’s pretty austere. The nose is deceptively bright with nice balance and dark fruit and earthy tones. The palate is disappointing though, flat and lacking any real fruit or depth of flavour. Finishes with a metallic tang that does not improve with air.
