91 Points

Monday, November 21, 2016 - Very dark plum colour, quite dense; nose, initially closed, some stone fruit, pepper, and soft tannin and oak –very solid; taste of black fruit and earth, good mouth feel although a little thin ,with fruit giving way to oak in the aftertaste. An elegant if light wine (12.5 alcohol). A claret of the old school, and difficult to rate on a points system that awards, above all, for density of fruit.
