Light in colour almost pale. At first whiff it was closed, so should have given it some time in decanter. There was some secondary aromas, but also a hint of nail polish. With some swirling and it open up quite quick and revealed lovely aromas. Vanilla, cardemom, forrest/dirt and liqorice. The taste was surprising. It was delicate but still very lively with a clear strike of acidity. It was the taste of oak that hit first with vanilla, leather but then a cherry appeared. Clear in flavor and bringing delicious acidity that lingered.

Light golden color. Toasty, nutty aroma, almost brown butter. Not very high acidity, yeasty and round.
