Tasting Tips
Deep red colour, still showing some purple. Ripe dark fruits on the nose - blackberry, a little blackcurrant - with savoury notes from subtle, spicy oak and a hint of dried herbs. Full-bodied palate with concentrated flavour and plenty of weight, yet with fine dry tannins giving an impression of elegance. Very good length. The wine is developing quite slowly. It should gain complexity over at least another six years and could be very long-lived. - Nick Bulleid, MW (Master of Wine); April 2008
