“The aromas and flavors are marked with dried-strawberry, nutmeg, bark and mushroom character. Tar too. This is structured, showing fine tannins that give a beautiful mouthfeel and tension. Medium-bodied with a dusty texture in the finish and a long and thoughtful ending. Rather ethereal and energetic. Drink now or hold.” – James Suckling
