Saturday, September 11, 2021 - Double decanted three hours ahead, then decanted. Masses of woodsmoke, smoky burning embers, savoury herbs, and black currant on the nose. Black currant powerful on the palette, with charcoal or burnt toast, herbs again, liquorice, light oak. Fruit becoming riper with time, maybe even plummy. Beautifully silky texture. Low tannin and acid, no reason to age further. Enjoyable, but pretty simple. I expected more based on the vintage and the fact that I loved the 2014.
