Very complex palate of dried cherry, cocoa, licorice, candied orange, earth, mediterranean herbs. Very youthful and forceful. Finishes with strong acid and powerful tannins. Needed some air time to fully show. Probably needs 10 more years at which point it will be unbelievable. I had the 2010 fairly recently and it seemed more evolved and friendly than this.

High acid and alcohol. Dry. Soft medium tannins. Pale tawny color. Nose of black cherries and fig. Plum, wild strawberries and oregano on the palate. Nice! Would drink again.

Still drinking well. Inky dark, notes of leather and bell peppers with a bit of tomato.

First bottle flawed but second one was great. Mature with savory flavors. Some similar notes to the lot 40 cask strength rye. Dill?
