" A textbook maturing example from an unanimously stellar vintage. Developing gracefully on the nose with a mellow, savoury, tertiary quality. Leather, liquorice, quinine and dried fruit come to the fore along with background notes of truffle and dark chocolate. Immensely inviting and prettily scented, opens to reveal added dimension with aeration. Silky, sleek and textural on the palate, traditional in style with classic, delicious regional character. Fleshy and generously flavoured despite the obvious evolution, fresh structure and soft grip suggest more is yet to come. Outstanding. "
