Required at least an hour to wake up and show itself. Dried herbs, dusty red cherry, blackberry, tomato, oodles of earthy sweet leathery tobacco on the nose - unfurling beautifully over the evening. The palate is big, round, grippy drying tannins, but balanced with good acidity and long finish. Still a baby.

From 375. Dried apricot, mango, peach and honey with white florals. Very balanced and not overdone. A step up in intensity from the 2008
