Dark spicy plum, some lean iron. Very defined and balanced. Quite tight now.

Beautiful medium dark rubi robe, reticent nose of blackcurrant, asphalt, tobacco and black cherries notes. It has density and quality of fruit, but ends on a dry port register. A faulted bottle ? In any case not worth the price and disappointing.

Bitter at the end. Have such high hopes for this vintage and it’s just not getting better with age.

Distinctly wet dirt basement floor with cherry cough medicine hiding in the background of the nose. The Yanina are strong but not overwhelming. On the lighter side, but great last and yummy
