Description

I felt that this was over-extracted in its youth and was consequently parsimonious with my score. However, it shone at Farr’s 1996 blind horizontal. A fresh, lifted, cedary nose with excellent definition. Reserved, understated but classy. The full-bodied palate is quite toasty but fresh with good delineation. Blackberry, tar, cedar and just a faint touch of white pepper. Harmonious and focused. Very persistent finish. Excellent. Tasted September 2006.
