Nose: Perfumed, lemon cooked fruits. Fairly lean with (in time) cocoa/coffee cake, winey notes. Whiff of cigar smoke as well.
Palate: Attractive if slightly (surprisingly) austere. The mid-palate has lovely concentrated jammy fruits alongside some good spicy rye.
Finish: Softens and begins to mellow.
Comment: Quite a mouthful which takes no prisoners.
Score: 7.3
