Well made, already showing secondary flavors with figs, dried cherries and spice additions. Lacking grip and freshness to last.

Still quite purple in colour and fruit. Whiffs of baking spice, flowers, menthol and warm pastry as well. Excellent balance, very easy to like. Not overly complex nor deep, yet highly enjoyable!

Dark, rich, spicy, a bit musky - great depth, not overly sweet, with some black yunnan hints. Rich, a touch savoury, surprisingly bright.
Plush & velvety on the palate, chocolate’y with black cherry, kirsch, a pinch of exotic spice. Nice tannic profile, a bit rustic yet, so juicy & rich.
Love the savoury character here and the fresh acidity. A nice one.

Sep 22nd, 2023Delightful and very much alive.
Still full of crunchy dark fruit, underpinned by chocolate, coffee, tobacco, spice and rum drizzled Christmas-pudding.
Yum.
