  February 14, 2024 - Dodgy cork required some ingenuity to remove. And then the nose. Oh, the nose. Room filling floral, tarry, camphorous. A touch of cream and plenty of spice. The mouth is full, rounded, unmistakable. The finest tannins caress the black fruit and fresh acidity. Tart, cranberry, strawberry and then full black cherry. A bite of acid and alcohol prickle. I haven’t mentioned the cocoa, coconut and vanilla because they are allusive, expected but not really there. This is the real deal and still some way off the finished article. Give it another 5 years and save up for a Durand or be prepared for a crumbly cork. I wish I had more.
