Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2020-2028, Jancis Robinson MW, Nov 2019

About two-thirds Cabernet Sauvignon plus Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Mid ruby. Light leathery aromas but a bit cussed and lacking fruit. Rather a disappointment. Austere. (JR)

Cabernet Sauvignon with a little Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Blackcurrant, cedar, cherry, fine tannic bite, smooth and plush. Lovely oak fragrance. (RH)

Produced from the original 1969 vines of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the 2012 Dry Red No 1 possesses a deep garnet color and is beautifully scented of red and blackcurrants, black cherries and red plum with underlying cedar, violet, menthol and dried herb hints. Medium-bodied, it gives outstanding intensity supported by firm grainy tannins and oodles of freshness, all leading to a very long, earth- and herb-laced finish.
