Impressive depth of colour in the glass despite its age. The red fruit, strawberry and raspberry notes have gently bubbled down into a compote now. A touch of lavender and a hint of soy in the background. Medium- to full-bodied, unctuous red fruits on the palate, this feels only just mature. Gently sticky, wet-clay tannins coat the mouth, it then finishes fresh thanks to the bright acidity and glinting mineral edge. The alcohol is just starting to peep through a little, but it's not distracting thanks to the deliciously complex flavours.
