2nd of three bottles purchased in 2014. This was much better than the first (se separate post December 2014).
Important with minimum 3 hrs decanting, may be longer for the alcohol to be minimized further.
Bottled 2013. Decanted 3 hrs. Dark brown colour. Aroma of citrus, nuts and some alcohol. Full body. Powerful, smooth, citrus (dominating), nuts, good level of tannins, touch of minerals and tiny bit alcohol. Good balance acidity/sweetness (not so sweet). Long aftertaste. 91 pts.
