Entering drinking window! Less fruit at the moment, less vanilla (but still oaky) solid, blackish core and less bitterness, gains sweetness. Not overdriven or too fleshy, good acidity, cured meat, black berry and juniper, pepper - quite elegant though.

Good texture but a little too fruity for my taste
