Score 16/20 · Drink 2009-2016, Jancis Robinson MW, May 2012

Broad and rich and nuanced. At its peak now. Lots of bloody fruit. Very sweet, toasty and appetising. Perhaps not for the most fastidious purist but it certainly hits the spot for most. GV (JR)

Jancis Robinson MW
Score 16.5/20 · Drink 2009-2015, Jancis Robinson MW, Oct 2009

With quite a bit of evolution at the rim. Really quite a lot of ripeness. Attractively soft and easy. Good dry charcoal-biscuit finish makes it appetising. Nice wine. (JR)

Score 13/20 · Drink 2007-2009, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2007

Rather strange metallic nose. Loose and fully evolved on the palate. Not very ambitious and a bit dull. (JR)
