Thursday, February 15, 2024 - Dark cerise.
Slow oxed and enjoyed this over 8 hours. The nose quite muted on opening, builds with air to reveal a dank, dark earthy forest floor with savoury soy nuances, complex spice, sopressa-like charcuterie and subtle florals, but tracking the evolution with air I think there’d be more in store for those able to hold out longer than 8 hours.
On opening the palate surprised me: straightforward light red fruited mineralite which was quite weightless, however the complexity really builds with air this is youthfully complex in a dark red fruited way, spice, Christmas cake, with a few background savoury hints of soy and olive tapenade and a hint of umami truffle.
Having enjoyed mature bottles of ‘01 and ‘05 recently this is very much in their mould and should develop beautifully.
