Medium amber. Slightly maderized. Bit sweet, spicy, buttery, banana-tinged nose. Very rich mouthfeel, powerful, compact fruit with a touch of baked apricot. Smoky cut in the finish. Freshens with air, becomes very expansive.

Very stylish, no oak, starting to reveal some of its GC richness, good weight, definition and length. Needs time.
