Mid garnet. nose of b;lackcurrant, dried cherry, leather, smoke, tobacco box, meat, earth & spices. Decent body, strong acidity, integrated & ripe tannin. To taste blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry, raspberry, red cherry, leather, cedar, smoke, earth & leaves. Very long. Outstanding. Amazing balance and range of flavours. Solid intensity too. Remained fresh but plenty of tertiary complexity. Don't think it will improve but is also not going anywhere soon. Lovely treat.

Probably would benefit from some more time for oak to settle in further.
