Sweet aromas that remain fresh despite a hint of mushroom. Silky, plenty of fat and still with a slug of ripe tannin. Good in the mid-palate too – this is very good.

Colour was brick red, fading at the rim. Nose was deep and sweet and like turned-over soil with some background pipe tobacco. The palate had good volume and still retained a healthy amount of ‘stewed plum’ fruit. The tannin was just about gone, but there remained a strong lick of acidity. Very long finish and very good, but I suspect it would be time to start drinking these.
