Ooh yes, this bottle was singing. Medium body and a lovely bright ruby core. Great nose you could smell for hours. it’s got some red and black berry fruit with good detail, some development which makes it a little heady and evocative of a spice bazaar and a mineral core. Some soft tannins still and then the acidity washes through on the clean and good length finish. Worth holding onto these bottles so far, 1 left, try in a year or so

Now starting to show what it’s made of, a medium weight mencia with a lovely blend of raspberry, blueberry, smoke and a subtle touch of bitter chocolate that I find in good mencia, there’s traces of fine tannins giving it a little texture and good acidity to wash your mouth clean.

Nose of violets. Light weight. Beautiful finish with characteristic cool climate tea leaf tannins. Outstanding.
