Very dark indeed.

Spicy nose.

Long finish.

Seems quite young still.

70% opacity, dep ark red. Faint hints of red fruit on the nsoe, but mostly closed. Full and rich, spicy with plums, chewy round mouthfeel.

Attractive deep red with brick tones of early maturity; 90% opaque. Spiced red fruit compote on the nose. Sweet and light entry with powdery fruit; sweet icing sugar with Parma Violets and a dusting of cocoa powder. A lightweight palate but a pleasingly long candied red fruit finish. 86/100. 16-Nov-21. Decanted 5 hours.
