Unravelling aromatics unfurl with air - blue fruit notes entwined with barrel ferment and maturation elements. Sweet soy, cola and quince paste high notes escape from an ethereal layer wafting above. On the palate dark and liqueur chocolate, laced with Moroccan spices. An underlying tar/graphite blackness is lifted by derived fruit/quince pie. Pronounced tannins sweep across the palate. Long, layered and compelling, this wine is at the spicier end of the Grange spectrum.

Scented floral and superripe berry aromas. Fleshy and well concentrated, lush and supple tannined, savoury and superbly balanced. Grainy tannins, slightly savoury as opposed to black-fruity. Some spices. Not bad. Now to 25 years.
