90 Points

Tuesday, February 4, 2014 - From 75cl, perfect cork. Very oaky, of course, with an additional almost pine-resin-like pungency on the nose. The greatness of this wine lies in its extraordinary texture. Superb creamy entry with candied lemon mid-palate, some very refined pine-needle forest action on the mid-palate and a brilliant multi-layered finish where the smoothness of the entry finally crystallizes out into something almost like licking stones (not slate, not minerals, but good old-fashioned County Antrim stones). The label recommends serving at 15C, but we thought this tasted best at about 10C. A beautiful bottle, which has obviously profited from cellar time. Now-2018. 90P
