Bottle open 09.20 tasted 11.20
Thicker in the nose than 2011, mostly red fruit, currant, strawberry notes, spice notes, coffee notes
Palate with red fruit, a touch of alcohol warmth, dried fruit, not as lean as 2011 but still lacking some concentration and complexity, the oak stands taller in the equation.
