Sound St E but quite hard and will hopefully age in 5 years or so to a softer and more rounded body

A delightful wine with layered complexity as the berries and chocolates reach the back of your throat. Past its prime but after breathing still. Very enjoyable.

It needs an hour in a decanter, then it reveals the fruity side, cherries and red currant but without being overwhelming, some hint of green paprika even at this respectable age, very nice with soft cheeses and Tomme de Savoie.
