95 Points

Saturday, August 26, 2023 - This was outstanding tonight, one of the best bottles I have tasted in a very long time. I rated it highly when last drunk in 2020, and this was even better. In a wonderful place now but no hurry to drink - I am going to try and save my last bottle to see what its like at 20+ years.

Medium garnet. On the nose, dried dark cherries, clove, liquorice, Chinese tea, smoke, forest floor, mushroom. Fully developed. Dry, high acidity, med tannins, fine, palate similar to the nose but with so many layers of flavour that change in the glass and on the palate, long finish. Oak well integrated, plenty of fruit concentration. At peak, but likely to have a long plateau, given the structure and the fruit concentration.
