This was gorgeous. Needed 30 min in decanter but comes out bursting with energy. Forest fruits with spices, dried tomato and subtle tobacco notes in the background. Utterly delicious. Although full bodied and intense, it is very well managed and balanced. 14.5%. Apparently, my previous bottle has been spoiled, so those notes are not applicable.

Nicely developed, needed an hour in decanter to open up. Red berries liqueur with a hint of brett (in a good way), medium weight, alcohol is 14,5 but not noticeable. Homogenous, not spectacular or show-off more like easy drinking old school.

Dark ruby color. Nose fairly heavy in vanilla oak. with tart blackberry. Entry is tart blackberry and red currant. Decent weight with quite a long, strong spicy, herbal finish. A toasty oak present throughout. Tannins remain a bit drying but only coming late. This still has years left. Well done. Built to last and seems to progress well.

Needed time in the glass for the nose to open. A leathery oaked nose with currant. Entry is sour with a finish remaining quite hot and tannic. Loads of pepper and spice - long. This needs more time.
