Wonderfully ripe with excellent varietal clarity, the wine shows blackcurrant, cigar, clove and cedar characters on the nose. It's mouthfilling and generously textured on the palate, delivering excellent weight and persistency, beautifully framed by chalky tannins. Robust and delectably appealing. At its best: now to 2036. Score - 94. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Sept. 2024) Wonderfully ripe with excellent varietal clarity, the wine shows blackcurrant, cigar, clove and cedar characters on the nose.
