Friday, September 24, 2021 - As schoolbook example of mature claret, especially on the nose. Forest ground, cigar box, and exotic spices. Tannins are fully resolved, and the only thing to maybe complain about is that the fruit could have been richer and fresher. But this is compensated by the long and complex finish that lingers for 30+ seconds. No rush to drink up, but hard to say if further cellaring will be beneficial.
