The 2007 Talisman has beguiling purity on the nose: black cherries, hoi sin and even a hint of animal fur. Good definition and it blossoms in the glass. The palate is full-bodied, good density, quite symmetrical in the mouth, primal black fruits, very well balanced towards the ripe, toasty finish. Excellent – but what the hell is the blend? The mystery continues! Drink 2011-2018.
