Full bodied red wines have a noticeably textural mouthfeel with bold, complex flavours. Often deeply coloured.
Dry wines have no trace of sweetness at all.

A substantial wine in all respects, with more richness and mouthfeel than many of the 1980s and ’90s; the array of black fruits with a twist of cassis is perfectly balanced, as is the oak and tannin support.

Similar nose to '04: nutmeg spice aromas with red fruits. Cranberry. Tautly tannic palate; sturdy and tight. Firm and a little forbidding in tannins. Needs a lot of time: very promising and packed with fruit, tannin and flavour. Needs 5 years at least, then drink for 35. A stand-out!
