Still a bit tight out of the bottle, but opened up beautifully in the glass. Soft tannins but still lots of structure. Some nicely developed tertiary character. Really complex, rewarding, delicious. Drinking beautifully now, but I expect will not deteriorate for some years yet.

Kicks off with a classic toasted marshmallow note, then morphs to an earthy character. Soft on attack with a more mould note, still marshmallow, bit of bonfire, sweet finish, but possibly slightly scalped or faintly corked - had better.
