Much better than previous tasting - with food which might have helped. Massive nose of red fruit, coconut, tobacco, vanilla just pulls you in. Lithe and glossy body. Great.
Somm was pushing another option as richer and 'more balanced' but this seemed to have the perfect profile - lighter-body, a bit fresher, sweet (even alongside sticky toffee pudding) yet clean and clear. Enjoyed.

Loved this. Recommendation of the somm. Rich in texture yet light in weight with a flinty freshness.
