Revisiting the vintage after two year break. Strawberry, vanilla, toffee and cherry aromas, flavors, nice light bitterness - black pepper and, later, tobacco - in finish with great length of fruit in the mouth. Seems to have improved vs last tasting, or maybe I’m just more pliable… seems like a bit of Malbec might have crept into this one
