Nose: eucalyptus, cloves & creamy oak
Palette: needed two hours open up. Initially beet root & herbs, with fully integrated tannins and not much sign of age. The highlight is a bright acidity that perpetuates a long, taught finish of balsamic & strawberries with a little dry tannin at the end.
Conclusion: despite 11 years of age this is still in the full flush of youth. However, I expected more given the appellation and bottle age. 3* 6/10
