  At 8 years of age, and 4 years since our purchase, this wine is in a great spot and is not tired at all.
  
  Nose is juicy and earthy with notes of spiced gingerbread, cherry cola candy and cedar.
  
  Tannins have softened and there is a ripe, pronounced acidic backbone.
  
  Flavours add some spiced tobacco and blood orange citrus. A really interesting and complex diversity.
  
  Drinking well. Drink to 2027

  Much better on the nose than the palette. Pepper , baking spice and dark fruit. Taste is sweet with plum and currant. Overly acidic. Biting finish.

  Bright and gregarious. Violets on the nose. Blue fruit and bit of chalk and spice. Bright acid and verve. Hard to not drink now, but this can go for another 5 at least. Think Morgon. Delicious.
