This is more restrained still though aggressive swirling eventually coaxes the gorgeously broad-ranging and pure nose to reveal a more floral and spicier mélange of red and dark currant

Once again very firm reduction buries the underlying fruit

Here the lateness of the malos is in evidence as the nose is almost raw with traces of fermentation aromas and reduction though the medium plus weight flavors are detailed

this hasn't changed a great deal since my last review except that the length is now even more phenomenal and the supporting tannins are a bit more apparent

hot or even close to too much
