Colour a bit brown and muddy; fair amount of sediment. Decanted. Really great nose - wow. All those deep, rich tertiaries: leather, figs, dates, treacle, chocolate/cocoa, wet earth. I love this - it's serious, emotional, melancholy (in a poetic, not dispiriting sense). It's fresh but also a tiny bit bitter. The fruit is advanced but not at all dying. Excellent spicy character. Nutty as well - crushed hazelnuts, walnuts. Deep, dark chocolate truffles and a zesty moment at the end - almost like limes. Very impressive and charismatic. Often (for me) too bitter and demanding when young. But Dido is clearly great with a couple of decades of age. Worth the wait!

Wenig Säure, Geschmack nach Weichselkirsche und Trüffelpraline. Noch kein bisschen müde. Gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhätnis. Mittlerer, samtiger Abgang. Leider letzte Flasche.

Definately shisty and powerful. Apperently the soil is more granite and powerful. Nicely, clean and bright mid palate. Fresh and vibrant. Juicy red fruit. Very pretty.

This was my last bottle and I noticed a violet nose that wasn't there before. Great value

Mineral, although John says church perkolator coffee. Like an old church coffee.
