From magnum. Opened at 20.45, decanted at 09.00 and drunk at 15.15.
Mid red colour, mature in tone; 60% opaque. A little cinnamon and mace on the nose, bringing extra interest to the red jelly baby scent. Jellied red fruit on the palate with generous spice, a little hot and lighter in body and palate presence than the S70 or T70 tasted alongside this wine. The finish brings lovey red fruit and aniseed with a good length. 89/100. Drunk 15-Sep-22. Decanted 6 hours.
