Deep garnet with a purple hue; this benchmark wine from an iconic producer is laden with vibrant purple and black fruits, floral notes, earthy complexity and well executed oak handling; the palate is juicy, direct and layered, with fine-grained tannins providing an armchair ride for the vibrant and plush fruit that is on board. This will age tremendously well, but many will enjoy it without giving it that chance.

Coal, aniseed, chocolate, vanilla, black fruit – very ripe year Rockford smells plus a little lift. It’s rich, fleshy and very ripe, perhaps veering towards porty (like 2002), though finds fair balance. There’s a little alcohol warmth, a lovely set of ripe silty tannin and some fresher raspberry fruit peeking out from behind the dark clouds. Unevolved and a little grunting as a youngster, but has good long term potential. Noted some herbal flavour in the after-taste.
