From a half bottle purchased three weeks ago from Halifax Wine Company.
Decanted 4 Hours
Very dark and completely opaque. A nose of treacle and something that I recognise but can't describe. Initially quite light in the mouth but then thick and smooth. Molases, that's what that smell is, I used to feed it to horses many years ago. Stewed fruits, figs, damsons, prunes - stuff like that. Very tannic and very young. Delicious, but not ready by a long way.
Score: 6-8
This is obviously a classic example of how half bottles age quickly
