Big nose of very ripe dark berries, some spice and vanila. Sweetness and jamminess can be detected from the aroma. The flavors are further enforced in the mouth, very rich and sweet. Long finishing with hot sansation felt at the back. Volume toned down a bit after sometime in the glass but hot sensation become more obvious.

Funny that no one has looked at any recent vintages. Anyway, shows much more restraint than I would have expected. Palate is not at all heavy but there's a glimpse of heavy cook fruit, otherwise the red berry fruits look nicely settled and balanced.
