Dark rich & dense without heavy tannins although a little singular in it's approach. This possesses good balance and is super smooth. Personally i would prefer less density and more elegance, but this shows well with a little age on it.

Ok. Lots of blackberry and licorice, high in tannin on day 1. High alcoholic tang at the end on Day 1 as well, this calms down on Day 2. I like it better on Day 2 so Ct rating of drink before 2015 is wrong in my opinion, should for a few more years and will hopefully improve.

Just excellent at this stage with a round and full fruity flavour (few traces of tannins, like from the previous bottle). Decanted for one hour and had it with barbecued game. I will drink my remaining 4 bottles within a year since I cannot see how it would get better at this stage.
