  Expressive creamy nose, endless aromas jumping out of the glass! Red currant, licorice, violet, forest floor, roasted notes, cinnamon, blueberry, rhubarb, candied berries, mint, lavender, vanilla, hints of smoke, mushrooms, gunpowder, punsch, leather and some floral notes. Amazing journey in the glass over 4 hours!
  
  Smooth mouthfeel, elegant like a ballet dancer. Lovely maturity with fresh primary fruit combined with maturity notes. Distinct acidity, fine-tuned tart tannins, discreet heat. 95p

  The bouquet displayed intense dark red fruits, along with savory herbs, minerals, sweet spice, and brown sugar. On the palate, it was soft and suave with weighty textures giving way to fleshy black raspberry, backed by mineral tones and sweet herbs. The finish was long, resonating with mineral-tinged dark red fruits, lingering sweet spice and saturating tannin. Well done.
