Muted on the nose, but developing some pleasant aromas of plum and blackberry with air. Medium intensity on the palate with the same fruit profile and a touch of pepper. Medium + acidity and medium fine tannins. Pleasant but not earth shattering.

Ripe plum and balckberries on the nose along with a hint of spice and vanilla. On the palate, round full bodied, with ripe fruit, vanilla and some tertiary flavour of chocolate and tobacco. Fine, mouth coating tannins fully resolved. 15% but the alcohol is well integrated and shows only a little heat on the long finish. Very fine.

Sadly two bottles both oxidised and lifeless. Shame.
