(2016) A wine showing its power, even though now fully mature. Ruby core with a medium brick rim, some old wine aromas of leafiness and decay, but never dominating the briar and truffle and the soft, autumnal berry fruit. On the palate soft and delicious, though it faded fairly quickly (a drop left over was almost devoid of fruit next morning) but sweet elegance to the finish on first drinking, mellow but robust tannins and cherry fruit acids into a nice, spicy finish.
