while aromas of tropical fruits and sweet granite can be detected, it's more reticent and tighter than previous bottle. probably should have decanted. outdoor BBQ not helping the cause.
wonderful nose of sweet jam and vanilla, at the same time not over the top like many young Granges, maintaining good structure and balance. smooth and silky on the palate.
popped and poured. glorious perfume of farmyard, leather and smoke. simply stunning. palate admittedly a little weak, but does it matter when the nose is this good? happy to sniff this all year long!
