Monday, March 6, 2023 - The deep purple appearance belies its age. Closer inspection does reveal some limited fading and a watery hue.
Loaded up with blueberries and blackberries, along with liquorice. In additional there are some herbal aspects. Clove and smoky oak. Still fresh and primary on the nose.
A spicy medium bodied palate brings more aged qualities as it's quite savoury and earthy.Tannins have resolved to an extent, while still holding the structure in place. The acidity provides a liveliness that nicely balances the aged notes. On the finish, some alcoholic warmth appears, while in general it does tend to fade away a little too quickly than ideal.
Now a snooth,soft ready to drink wine that will perhaps hold for a little while longer.
