Two years ago I didn’t like this a lot,and left the rest of my stash to sleep f
or a bit. Worthwhile it was, too. Strawberry and cream smell with some sappy pinot fruit and pleasant forest floor mulchy goodness. Dried herb and cherry, along with some rhubarb and pinot stalk and sap with a real inner mouth lift. It does show that classic Felton Road silky tannin profile. But now it finishes with impressive warming length that it didnt ahve two years ago. It is drifting into dry red territory a bit, and whether you like this win eor not will depend on whether thats your thing or not. Holding well, and should continue to do so for a while yet. For me – 88/100
