88 / 100The concentrated oak tannins and prunes give this a firm edge, while coffee, chocolate and dark berries with water add a richer counterpoint. That contrast appeals to me, though the tannins may keep it from feeling especially easygoing.

88 / 100The oak tannins give this a firm edge against the sweeter fruit: prunes lead into blackberries and blackcurrants, with coffee and chocolate adding a darker thread. That contrast is what makes the character appealing to me; it sounds concentrated without losing its fruit. The nose also has a savory turn, while the added-water notes bring in old Spanish ham and aged white Madeira. A richly layered set of notes, though the tannic side may matter as much as the sweetness.
