Wow, this is delicious!! Layered, juicy and wonderfully lively with loads of cherry and currant and hints of sage and tobacco....fighting fit and vibrant!!! Damn! Nothing like perfect cellaring 😘 One of the better wines I have had in a while and totally unique...damn good!! Weird that some folks have given it lower scores....I really like it.

Big tar and berries and slight mint on the nose. a lot of fruit and long spicy herbal finish. Still opening up.
