Immensely complex and enticing, the wine shows dark fruit richness with smoked game, cake spice, mushroom and spicy oak characters on the nose. It's equally gratifying on the palate with outstanding concentration and weight, wonderfully enhanced by velvety mouthfeel and loads of polished tannins. Sumptuously appealing. At its best: now to 2038.

An unabashed full-bodied wine. Made to an older-school creed, while glimpsing a contemporary vein of freshness. Just! A mid ruby. Dark cherry and red-fruit allusions, all. Lilac lift. Mocha oak, French and American. Yet there is a levity to this. A welcome lightness. Freshness, even. Nothing jammy or obtuse. The tannins, largely derived from oak. The core, creamy and smooth. This will win over plenty of drinkers. - Ned Goodwin
