– Aromas of graphite, tar, dark chocolate and black cherries abound,
as well as ripe dark plums. This is a very convincing and complex edition of this
wine. The palate is so concentrated and has a super deep, plush and fleshy stream
of fresh plums and blackberries, as well as a swathe of fine tannins. Profoundly
rich and velvety with a strong backbone. This will age for more than two decades
after release. James Suckling
