Saturday, June 23, 2018 - Colour is dark Ruby starting to fade on the absolute edge.
On the nose: ripe brambly red fruits, think cherries and stewed fruits, and a hidden mushroom note beginning to show. Also has beautiful baking spices; nutmeg, a slight note of ginger and liquorice all enveloped in vanilla.
Palate... This is where it shines... It matches the nose, but the intensity is higher. Medium + tannin and acidity, a medium + length finish, a slight zinfandel quality to the fruit, but in a good way.
This deserves plenty more time in bottle. Pity it's my last bottle.
