Tar, soy sauce, hoisin, smoked meat, orange blossom, saddle leather, shiitake. At this stage, a very savory experience, but more sweetness emerges with an extended decant.

Oh my. This was very good. The tannins were, for the most part, resolved, but they were still present. Good fruit, lovely acidity and a lingering finish.

An expressive nose of Indian spice, decaying rose, smoked meats and balsamic. It has a strong line of acidity and all sorts of savoury nuance. There's a raisin-like quality to the fruit and some tar and soy to the long finish. Drinking well.
