Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of wet leaves, mushroom, savoury, meaty, dried plum, soy sauce, toast, earthy, dusty, rosemary, prune, leather, then tobacco and licorice. After an hour it shows dried rose pedal. It’s fully developed.
Palate: dry, medium plus flavour intensity, very plummy on the palate, licorice, dark chocolate coming through. Structure wise, medium plus acidity, medium plus tannins, high alcohol, full body. The finish is medium plus.
Overall, it’s a very good wine. Achieved its peak already. Suggest to drink now, not suitable for further ageing.
