I said in my note of June 2014 that I hoped this wine would develop more complexity with time. It has done so. Double-decanted 6h prior. Excellent fruit, nice integrated vanillic tannins. Long and enjoyable. Good value. Very attractive on the day but losing it slightly after 8+h and certainly less attractive next day.

Nose: very fruity nose with raspberry, cranberry, cranberry bog, autumn leaves, and just a hint of wood stove smoke. Taste: dry, medium body. Very fruit forward: creamy ripe raspberry, balanced with tart cranberry. Raspberry leaf gives a nice herbal note. Silky smooth finish with creamy vanilla and hint of cured cedar wood. Lovely and delicious.
