Community Tasting Note

Tuesday, December 3, 2013 - Showing faint browning at the rim, but a decent colour for 13 years old.
Very rich nose with rich plummy fruit, coffee/cocoa, some green pepper, and more liqueur-like fruit on swirling.
Very appealing palate, somewhat plush with rich fruit, coffee, a hint of marzipan, yet not OTT and with just enough tannin to keep it in check (the acidity on it's own might not be enough).

It would be easy to be dismissive that this is a crowd-pleaser... and it is, yet it just does it very well, with enough restraint/poise to hold the interest.

It should keep a few more years yet, but for me the balance may be ideal for drinking now.
