Old leather lounge, church pew, blackcurrant paste, cedar, cigar box, hazelnuts - the characteristics of some bottle age are real. The oak still shows some muscle and there is no doubt there is plenty of life left in this number. A wine that grows on you and shows imminent humility, a decant will see it at its best after being locked up since 2018. A ripple of fine spices has the last word for a wine that seemingly wants to hold its cards close.
