Surprisingly little sediment. Very open and fragrant immediately on decanting. Sweet red and stewed fruits, forest floor, mushroom, mulled wine spices, leather. Silky texture, well integrated, some remaining tannin, a slight touch of warmth. Long finish. Lovely mature CDP.

Dark red. Interesting and open nose. Dark fruited, orange rind, licorice, mushrooms, forest floor. Sweet dark fruits on the palate, liqueur like, really deep and tangy. This has arrived at a great place now, for me right in the early drinking window. Shows the benefit of patience as the first bottle in 2018 was quite closed on the palate. Excellent.

In a great spot. Limes, ginger, stones, a touch of cream. A sweet entry on the palate, soft and silky with some bitterness. Drinking very well.
