Very youthful for almost 20y, both in colour and on the nose, with the primary fruit still very present - black cherry, a bit of brambly blackberry, with some leather & cedarwood in the background. Still very fresh & enticing.
Brilliant mouthfeel, medium bodied with present but already mellowed tannins and fresh, juicy acidity. Good depth & great length. Fruity yet savoury, cool, elegant and so drinkable. The bottle empties dangerously fast.
Delicious stuff!
