On the nose, dried fruits and dried figs,nuts, cheese, almonds and nuts, soy sauce, truffles, animal scents, mint, anchovies, mushrooms, raisins. On the palate, dried fruit, figs, soy sauce, some port sweetness, some cheese, almonds, nuts, some mint and menthol.

Good structure and integration and well kept - actually very harmonious, delicious and tasty even though it’s not a good vintage. The nose is intoxicating and kept going.
