  Tasted double blind towards the end of a long evening. This was incredibly layered and showed beautiful nutty notes. Superb structure, weightless feel but on the other hand also alcohol heat on the nose and a touch too much spices and sweetness. Not completely my cup of tea. 93/94pts.
  
  TN: A bit of heat, extremly spicy, graphite influences wrapped around an expressive, intense fruit core. On the palate fresh round herbs and very ripe dark fruit, so much spices and sugary notes, then superb walnut notes. Very layered, superb precision. On the nose some alcohol heat but on the palate not so much (but borderline). Weightless, elegant structure and feel.
  
  Decanting: I would go for 2 hours. Got better with air.
