Fantastic nose of wild strawberry, then layers of other aromas ranging from soft fruit, to smoke & earthy note. Complex. Beautiful balance and very long finish. Superb at 10 years of age.

Not quite what I was expecting. Cool, linear and tight. Red fruits. Medium palate. Finishes a little short. Nothing really faulty, but nothing to entice another glass. Maybe it just needs more time?

On the nose: hints of fresh pastry, vanilla and cocoa, but the fruit is hiding. Mouthfeel is smooth with good acidity, but the fruit is non-existent; there's perhaps a hint of black cherry. Very closed, and didn't open up despite decanting and time in glass. Would have benefited from more bottle age.

High acid, clean, bracing with deep, dark fruit. Earthy, dry, tar tannins. Neither lean nor sweet, but has a nice fullness of fruit behind the acid. Brisk with a good grip. Opened up well after a few minutes in the glass. B

The expected berries were there. Yet it was disappointing overall.
