Tasting notes
This wine has dark, dense tannins with austere cassis and plum fruit characters. It is a classy wine with good freshness and elegance. The finish is fairly long and the depth of flavours suggest it will age gracefully for a decade or more. asianpalate.com

Soft and round with chocolate, coffee and dark fruits. Full and velvety. Chewy in the end. Best ever.jamessuckling.com
One of the best ever from this estate. Splendid wine with extra depth and purity of fruit. Suave texture and very fine tannins. James Lawther, decanter.com
Well-knit already, showing a fleshy edge to the plum sauce, blackberry and toast, with a nice graphite note lurking in the background. This has stuffing. Should unwind nicely. James Molesworth, winespectator.com
