" Velvety garnet verging to mahogany at rim. Sumptuously mature bouquet with a gently smokey overlay and complex tertiary aromas. There are glimpses of tar and chocolate, the oak is understated and beautifully integrated, the soft tannins retain a supporting role, the texture is silky and flowing, the flavour dry and luxuriant. A wine of real stature, at its peak of perfection. "
