Vibrant full ruby. Red fruited nose, strawberry with hints of raspberry and with air a talcy, rose petal fragrance. Very attractive and floaty. Silky, putting on a little weight in the glass and showing more sweetly red-fruited without losing its elegance and line. This is really very attractive. **** Become darker and more savoury overnight.

2001 De Toren Fusion V

A little deeper than the LP alongside. Nose not dissimilar, just a little richer with a slight sense of Madeira cake versus the LP’s more classic St Julian aromas. All too easy to mistake this as St Emillion, and despite the 14.5% abv, not necessarily a modern one. Impeccable balance. Very smooth. A stylistic preference between this and the LP — I prefer the style of the latter, but the former is the better wine. ****

Gosh, this has (perhaps unsurprisingly) moved on from a sighter bottle opened in 2012. Now nicely mature but vital, mid red fruited against a backdrop of cedar and sandlewood. Classic St Julian. Silky and suave. Lacking the depth of a great vintage, but plenty of typicity and complexity, red-fruited with sufficient energy to carry through to the finish. Lovely wine. Thank you Alan Bennett / VinXchange (2005) ****
