It is gloriously expressed on the nose showing creme de cassis, Black Doris plum, vanilla, cigar box, mixed spice and cocoa characters. The palate is equally gratifying with outstanding concentration and richness, while remaining perfectly balanced and firmly structured. The wine offers layers of delectable flavours and soothing texture, superbly framed by fine, chalky tannins. At its best: 2020 to 2032.
