One hour decant. Rubber, eucalyptus, clove, anise, violet, plum, fig, Christmas cake. Rich, smooth mouthfeel; hides it’s alcohol well. The fruit is starting to show its age. Somewhat abrupt finish. Drink over the next couple of years.

Lots of fruit but little by way of finishing tannis of complexity. Improved a bit over decanting but lost all of its flavour by the next day. Have to say I was disappointed, expect it didnt last more than 5 years of cellaring.

Dark plums, Ribena, raisins, a bit of tobacco and some fine drying tannins. It's pleasant enough, but at 15% alc. it's pretty sweet and all in all a bit boring.
