The palate is still vigorous, presenting a crisp line of acidity and generous lashings of ginger and brown spices ladled out on the impressively taut finish. Superb.

Gorgeous deepish amber colour. Nuts, spices, very layered and nuanced nose, you can smell this one for hours. Superb acidity and freshness, lively, quite intense, very elegant, layered and almost transparent feel to it, enormous length. A Beautiful bottle. 97
