Really fine wine in a great spot a decade on. Faded ruby and bricked rim showing signs of age. The nose is full and complex with notes of new leather, bacon fat and tobacco. Palate is dominated by the 16% alcohol. Even after ten years this shows no sign of being tamed. Flavours add sweet fig and stewed black cherry with a hint of black licorice. Excellent length once the alcohol fades. I don’t think this gets much better but drink to 2029.

Ok, but didn't seem as good as at the winery. Complex and potent. Decent wine.
