Rich, full-bodied, mature, earthy/ironstony. Very good, and in excellent condition, if not really definitive of the region.

Old vines and 18 months in new French oak produce a wondrously complex array of dark berry, plum, leather, licorice and chocolate aromas and flavours, the concentration of the fruit offset by savoury tannins. Drink to 2017.
