Medium to full brick-red/tawny colour. Mellow aged bouquet with meaty, earthy characters. Very dry, savoury palate with some developed nuances, but does have some appealing mellowness of character. Quite tannic. Firm and structured despite softening somewhat.
Tasted: 26/12/2011
Drink: 2012 to 2025

Medium red-purple, good for age; very obviously, a special selection from estate vineyards; has blackcurrant and black olive fruit complexed by quite warm earthy notes and vanillan oak, the tannins fine and ripe. Drink to 2020.
