11’ Sea Smoke Ten.
A bit nervous when I pulled the cork. It’s fine.
Decant is still a must. The acidity dissipated after an hour.
Color- Nose- palate - finish. Pretty aromas of bright cherry & blackberry are accented by toastiness from the French oak.
The elegant aromatics give way to fruit flavors of MORE big Cherry, plum skins, ripe raspberries 👍,dusty nutmeg in a silky, seamless textures. While the fruit forward characteristics are quite noticeable...(bit short on the back of the palate)
Hard to put down the glass though!
Love Sea Smoke TEN. Edit- So much better after the 2nd hour. finishing with much more length.

The anticipation and patience displayed holding this for 10 years was amply rewarded. Clear, brick-ish color, tight nose that eventually opened to loads of red fruit, Burgundy like in its combination of lushness and reserve. Subtle and layered even after all these years.

Sea Smoke is always good and the Ten is the top of the line. Extremely well balanced. Ripe red fruit. Delicious.
