December 26, 2023 - Smuldrekork :-/ Middels moden lukt og smak med dype moreller, vanilje. Ingen alkohol preg. 1 uke i full halvflaske: Flott lukt med frisk skogbunn, sevje, fin vanilje, kaffe. Solid fruktig smak med lite alkoholsting som blaser bort. Flott balanse

December 27, 2018 - Blackberry jam, liquorice and spice. Very silky in the mouth and sweet, tannins already somewhat softened. Weighty and long although hot on the palate. Excellent.

December 24, 2016 - PnD let air for 1hr. and had a small glass before re-sealing in a vacuum decanter. Dark dense purple black with violet to clear rim. Macerated cherries figs prunes baking spices dark chocolate licorice and espresso on the nose. Medum(+) weight with silky tannins. Fresh on the palate with flavours that echo the nose. Creamy blackberry compote finish. Looking foward to savouring this over the next 2-3 days.
Day 2 Holding up well. Not better not worse. Maybe a little less hot if anything. -

December 8, 2016 - Very dark ruby purple. A lovely bouquet of violets, plums and coffee grounds. Very smooth on the palate with flavours of dried prunes and Christmas spices. Towards the sweeter end of the port scale with more than a nod to Graham's richness. Finishes sweet but very clean. Only medium weight, I don't think this has the concentration and build to make very old bones but it is nonetheless a delicious and very pretty wine which is drinking well right now. Nice box as well.
