I had tasted and blogged about this wine before. Indeed I showed them the entry at the tasting. However this wine gave a completely different impression. The colour was the same dark mahogany, but instead of the smoky nose with plenty of dried vine fruits, there was less smoke but a prominent soya sauce savoury element on the nose. This savoury soya sauce note carried over to the palate as well, accompanied by a sweetness which though initially a touch muted increases with an increasing acidity from entry to swallowing. The pruney notes from the last tasting was nowhere in evidence. The backbone was acid with a touch of astringency, whereas the last time there were more raisin notes.
