Description
Madeirised, with tons of warm balsamic vinegar tones along with a good dose of undergrowth and little tendrils of smoke and dried mulberry scents. It took almost half-an-hour to open up slightly, with the funky smells blowing away a little to show a light layer of dried flowers and raisins. Amazingly though, the palate was a lot fresher and more alive than the nose would have you believe. Here, silky tannins and a decent amount of acidity still held up yummy flavours of dried cherries and cranberries, with a savoury, almost salty undercurrent of loamy earth and preserved meats. The finish was still lively, almost juicy, with a slightly sandy kiss of tannins running up and down its considerable length. A real surprise after the nose - this was pretty delicious.
