Pure class on show...heady, perfumed and expressive... Fragrant and open nose of cherries, plums, cola, vanilla, mint and perfumed floral scents. Well defined, elegant and graceful on the palate, instantly mouthwatering with something special about the vibrancy and liveliness to the wine that captivates straight away. It's sensual yet tangy, plush yet with bite and grip. Persistent with real terroir markers and such effortless enjoyment. A tasting memory that will linger long in my memory.
...a sumptuous, sensual wine, bursting with aromas of sweet raspberries, orange rind, dried flowers, cedar box, black truffles, vine smoke and menthol. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, it's supple and seamless, with a fleshy mid-palate, melting tannins and a long, expansive finish.
All in harmony. Deserves its reputation...Smoke, black truffle, berry and cherry. Full-bodied, velvety and fine.
...hints of meat juice and terracotta. Very expressive...medium-bodied with grainy tannins and wonderful structure...glossy and ripe, with veins of blue fruit emerging on the finish. Gorgeous.
...offers uncanny retention of primary fruit. Expands inexorably on the finish and goes on and on.
Mature red and black fruits, cedary spices, leather, flowers and dried flowers all flow to a sweetly fruited, sexy, open knit and ready to go...resolved tannin and a good finish.
...green coffee bean and currant leaf and fruit aromas. It’s full and silky with lovely tannins...dried dark fruits with balsamic undertones on the palate... Fascinating wine.
...lightly scented. Then very warm and rich on the front palate with a slight lack of focus...
...showing well with lovely flavour...
