Slightly dirty nose with a bit of a baked fruit tone. A touch of dirt shows on the palate, which is initially hot and peppery but settles down to give an attractive depth of modest fruit. Warm - even hot - aftertaste leads to a good, flavoursome finish. 87/100.
Drunk at the Berry Brothers Port Walk on 24 Nov 2016.
