intense and fresh nose, dark fruits, violet, seductive flavours in mouth, fruity and sweet core, creamy texture, mild spices and herbals, liquorice, some meaty and earthy savoury. silky tannins, m/m+ body, solid acidity. salty and mineral notes is much milder than the previous bottle, but still obvious and well balanced in a well polished structure.
a solid NSG 1er, very good on density and complexity, at its peak.

decanted 40 min to open, salty savoury, animal and earth, with fruity core. high acidity, medium and smooth tannins, perfumed finish. delicious and fine structure. the best performance lasting only half hour, then faded to boring.

No full notes but very nice. Feels quite approachable despite the tannin. Nice Iron verging on steel component.
