Brambly dark berries, stewed plum and tobacco leaf on the nose. Earthier on the palate, very mellow and while enjoyable - over two nights - it does seem like it's winding down. It was a step back on the last bottle we enjoyed in 2020. Drink up.

2 hour decant. Fruit notes are darker on the nose, on the palate though it’s red fruited - currants, jammy raspberry and red plums. Notes of mocha, cigar and a subtle white pepper spice. I wouldn’t say the wine is rich but it has nice depth. A vein of acidity too which gives the wine nice structure. Solid at 11 years, should hold for another year plus.

Smooth and pleasing, but mature and perhaps past drinking window now. I would not wait.

Okay... a tad flat.
