91 Points

Saturday, November 15, 2014 - 2nd of 12, perfect fill, not decanted, much better than note earlier this year - darkish garnet, still purple rim; primary blackcurrant driven on nose, quite pure and fresh, hint of secondaries developing, cedar and graphite; fullish palate, dry tannins not wholly masked by fruit, but classy, some grip, this has come on a lot in 6 months, probably still needs 18 months, the 99 is much more rewarding at present! A tentative fine (17.5/20).
