Typically Irene-like on the nose with gorgeous deep dark fruit with a backdrop of spice, and it is nicely deep and dark too. Time to dive in! And it doesn’t disappoint. The fruit is slightly understated compared to it’s initial nose, but it is great nonetheless, and the pepper spice is spot on. There is a satisfying vanilla twang too, the oak doing its work beautifully, great balance of acidity too. The tannins give a nice depth on the finish without being too demanding. Delicious!
