Really light for a VP, almost turning to a dark 10 year tawny. The nose has a peculiar menthol and eucalyptus scent. The palate is very light, spirity and lacking fruit. Still has tannins and a touch too much acidity which makes it unbalanced. I don't know how long this was decanted, but I would guess not very long. 88 points
