Beautiful, deep crimson colour. Notes of blackberries and liquorice. Powerful on the palate. An extremely precise wine. Worth waiting for!
Vintage
The 2010 vintage was the product of an exceptional combination of dry weather - 2010 was the driest year of the decade - and rather cool temperatures - with the coldest May for five years. 2020-2040 and beyond....
There's clarity and beauty to this wine as always with pure dark berry, stones and spices. Some clove too. Full body, firm and silky tannins and a long finish. Pure and precise wine with so much class.
by James Suckling, JS, 2016.
This is a complex and rich wine dominated by superripe fruit. It is a wine of extremes, of fruit, of dark tannins allied to some bitterness from the black chocolate extra. Ripe plums and sweet black fruits are given a lift at the end with bright acidity.
by Wine Enthusiast, RV, 2013.
An extremely well-sculpted, modern wine, with an enormous core of plum sauce, blackberry coulis and cassis fruit to match the ambitious roasted apple wood-, black tea- and tobacco-infused toast. Dense and chewy now, displaying the tannic spine of the vintage, this remains integrated, racy and incredibly long, offering a piercing chalky backbone that rivets everything together. Best from 2018 through 2038.
