Rich blend of plum, cassis, coffee and earth notes. This Trefethen flagship opens over an hour or so to reveal bright fruit. In my opinion, Halo drinks better in the 10 to 12 year range. This bottle was no exception.

Cored this bottle. A little flat on first sip, but it was also cellar temp, about 57. Think this one should be drank within 1 year from now. Most of the tannins have laid down. Picking up blueberries, hint of raspberry with a tobacco finish. Still good color on the rim. Light aromatics.

Full bodied, plenty of dark fruit and berry notes with an earthy undertone. Perfect for hearty grilled meats.

Spicy, but perfectly balanced and ripe fruit with good purity and focus of flavors.
