This has plenty of everything, from the savoury overlay, dark-fruited intensity, textural warmth and ability to age further. It hits the spot, slipping down easy. A swathe of forest berries, dark plums, earth and cassia bark bring a light savouriness to the dense palate, layered and juicy, with a smooth tannin presence. Good length.
