I got these to drink early and lost this one in the cellar. The fruit has retreated a bit as has the oak, but there’s still a moderate toasty element. Just hasn’t developed any complexity. Smooth polished effort without depth.

paired well with sheppards pie on St. Patrick's Day. Decanted for an hour. Cassis, blue berry fruits with plenty of sweet and balanced tannins for this meal. Surprised since I thought it was near the end of life. Last bottle in cellar.

- Garnet color and aromas of black pepper, rose, blackberry and bell pepper and has flavours of dusty and almond - Surprisingly fresh for its age.
