Tasting note
A solid, pure style, with a beam of very fresh plum, black cherry and toasted anise notes moving through, followed by pretty hints of tar and red licorice on the polished, accessible finish. Shows more balance than oomph and should hang on nicely in the cellar. Drink now through 2020. Score - 91. (James Molesworth, winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2012)
Colour : intense crimson-red. Nose : complex and subtle, blackcurrant and plum followed by roasted coffee and cinnamon, cherry, morello cherry. Mouth : opening into spicy (liquorice) and fruity aromas.
