"Blackish ruby. A little fragile on the nose but beguiling. Salty and complex. Like floral, diluted treacle – rather delicious! But a weaker than average vintage. Drink 2010-2025"

"Medium to full red-purple; the bouquet is essentially fruit-driven, with utterly classic varietal character showing a range of licorice, earth and black cherry aromas supported by subtle oak. A mouthfilling and luscious wine, with wonderfully rich licorice and dark chocolate fruit, supported by an echo of vanillin oak. A wine which comes again and again as you taste it."
