Dried herbs, blackberry and oaky nose with a surprisingly acidic palate that has alot of elegance to it but low complexity. Enjoyable drink but nothing too exciting. There's still some tannin here and additional bottle age would be beneficial.
Dusty red fruit and orange zest + a lot of tertiary in the nose like dried herbs and earth. / Medium Body, medium+ acidity but very well integrated / What makes this great for me is its length, complexity and above all: elegance.

Stunning for its freshness and verve at 14 years old. Mouth puckering acidity, very tasty. After a few hours of air, the unresolved structure and tannin was more apparent, but I agree with Keith that this is now drinking on the early end, but is likely not in the preferred window for many. Glad to have a few more bottles. What a bargain.
