Natural Cork

An aged garnet colour leads to an equally evolved nose that focuses on raisins, dried cherries, spice and leather. In the past 10 years, I have had much more youthful examples that clearly exhibited the vintage’s well-endowed concentration but also much fresher fruit, making this bottle difficult to judge. Though its power and muscle are still present, the palate teeters towards dullness and one dimensionality.
