Deep browny ochre at the rim and mahogany at the core. A bit like the colour of coffee but not as dark. Intense and rich aroma that has so much complexity that it is hard to describe, both nutty and full of dried orange peel and prunes but also polished wood and mushrooms crossed with caramelised apricots. Intensely viscous, incredibly sweet (look at the RS!) and yet so fresh and vibrant. Incredibly hard to spit – not just because it is delicious but also because it is so viscous and mouth-coating. All that sweetness is so well balanced by the acidity that although it finishes sweet, it is not cloying. Immensely long finish and still a long life ahead!
