Sweet ripe blackberry blueberry nose; superb. Great flavour and concentration, deep and long, profound wine. Very intense and lushly fruited. Supple, gentle tannins; softer than usual. Lovely wine. Now to 20 years.

Built in the fashion of Bin 389s of yesteryear; massive beams of fruit and oak to keep it going for decades; black fruits (no red) earth and a touch of licorice; tannins under control. Not a wine show style.
