Bright crimson. Water white rim. Bit tarty and confected on the nose. Lean. Sanitised but not great fun. Almost spearmint. (JR)

Mineral, blackberry and violet aromas follow through to a full-bodied palate, with light tobacco character and a slightly reductive undertone that turns earthy. give it air to blow off.—'88/'98 Bordeaux blind retrospective (2008). Drink now. 16,000 cases made. James Suckling,Wine Spectator 2009.
