Bought for a ludicrous £26 on the table from the Harvey Nicholls sale ~a year ago. Super fresh - just on the more tired end of Ruby perhaps but certainly not garnet. Ripe red fruits on the nose; nothing stewed. Also some vanilla and sweet spices as well as some tertiary, but very much weighted 70/10/20 primary/secondary/tertiary which speaks to the ageability of this. Similar on palate; some medium tannic grip, and anything but sweet/cloying. In the raspberry/cranberry spectrum, albeit the riper end of both. I really like this, and I wish I’d bought more. Will go for another 15 yrs! Nice that it’s 14.5% and no higher.

Hit the right notes on the nose. Spice, plum and black cherry. Palate was pleasant, if somewhat one dimensional with the alcohol quite detectable above the notes of black fruit and warm, earthy tannins.

Aperto circa 2 hr prima di servirlo. Molto fine ed elegante: prugna mora e ribes, con profondità speziata di pepe e spezie esotiche. Qualche richiamo floreale. Teso e discretamente robusto nel bicchiere, con tannini che non presentano asperità. Buon finale.
