It leaps from the glass with opulent sandalwood, Chinese five spice, cigar box and leather scents over a core of prunes, baked cherries, dried mulberries and eucalyptus plus a touch of potpourri. Medium-bodied, the palate is laden with fragrant fruitcake and exotic spice layers, framed by wonderfully plush tannins and a refreshing line, finishing with an exhilarating menthol lift.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ffffff;\"\u003eJames Suckling | \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(151, 7, 0); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eJS 93\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Nov 17, 2025\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShows age now with aromas of tobacco, plums and smoked meat.

Just a little skinny – perhaps the selection wasn’t quite as rigorous as in 2005? A very slight greenness, as though some less than perfectly ripe fruit was included.
