Tasting Notes
This is darker and totally different in profile to the d'Armailhac. Spicy sweet fruit. There is some fruit here, some extract, and lots of gloss to this. Joss Fowler, FINE+RARE, April 2015.

Delightfully plump and juicy, with a core of fresh plum, blackberry and cherry fruit, lined with alder and dark tea notes. A long iron note is well-buried, and there's more flesh here than in the d'Armailhac, with the tannins feeling rounder and more supple. Should be delicious. Tasted non-blind.—J.M.
