Accessed one glass from 750ml via Coravin. Nose was outstanding, could smell it from across the room. Big floral sents, dark fruit, spice and a bit of chocolate. After air in the glass lots of fruit on the palate along with cinnamon and other spices with some vanilla and chocolate at the end.

Accessed one glass from 750ml via Coravin. Clear, pale gold in color. Nose was of Honey, apricot, and a bit of orange. Palate much of the same. Was not very viscous and more on the lighter side with a medium length finish and good acidity.

Decanted for 4 hours then drank over three nights. Left in fridge to slow oxidation. Lots of cherry and raisin on the nose. Palate much of the same with some liquor and a bit of spice added in. Just a little bit of heat.
