As the wine was sealed under Stelvin, it was allowed to breathe for some
hours and looked out over a further two hours. A ripe and savoury bouquet
showing spice, plum, pepper, chocolate and walnut scented oak. The silky mouth
feel is very attractive and with its fruit-driven nature and agreeable
complexity, this a very drinkable wine. Intense plum, loads of pepper, a touch
of aniseed and finishing to bitter chocolate, it has good persistence but is
short on the back palate. Ample-weight, the fruit is deep and strong and the
acid noticeably fresh. Rated as Recommended with *** for
value.
