  Benefits from 30 mins in a decanter. Sour cherry and sweet plums - I got a strong taste of Japanese plum wine!

  Nose has evolved beautifully with leather tobacco and minerals underlying the dark fruit nose. body gave more alcohol notes than I remembered from before and tannins are still solid. Finish seemed shorter as well; wonder if the wine has closed down a little in the body.

  dark fruit and spice, firm tannins and good acid support, long finish. It will age well for several years. Just had it after the 2006, which is drinking well.
