Amazingly unseeped (or whatever the word is) cork. Double decanted then left open for 10 hours before pouring. Still plenty of life in this bottle, smells and tastes of plum, pepper, and other spices (maybe clove). A bit of barnyard but not as much as I was expecting, actually pretty clean. Fresh acidity and smooth tannins, worked well with the food (mushroom, spinach, chestnut, pine nut and Stilton wellington). At the risk of talking nonsense, I’d describe it as elegant.

Nose: coconut and vanilla initially, strawberry and cherry fruit lurking.
Palate: Flippin heck that packs a juicy punch! Sour cherries, sweet strawberries (like those strawbs I think they’re called) then a smoothness, then finishes with big fine tannins and freshness. That is delicious, but still very young I think. Lovely now but massive structure for the future.
