It has been too long since I had a sup of this (I make it three months) so here I am at the bar of La Chula gathering rosebuds between meetings. Not easy to add much to the long string of tasting notes but still worth enjoying the moment.

This 0ne has a little bit of time in the bottle (if I am reading the Lot Code right I make it a 2014) and maybe a little time open, and just seems to have a little more spice. But what I love most are the classic features – the haybales, the over-roasted almond flavour and the intensity, density of that flavour, and the balance.

A classic, an all time favourite and a much needed reminder.
