Decant: 7½ hours - Decanted for 7½ hours and drunk on 30/1/08.
A strong red core, paling slightly on the rim. Alcohol on the nose but a swirl releases a lovely redcurrant syrup. Smooth and easy entry that just glides over the tongue, bringing masses of blackcurrants and lots of complexity in the mid palate. Beautiful balance and lovely texture. A sharp edge on swallowing that fades to leave a long dark chocolate finish.
