92 Points
Friday, April 29, 2016 - From 75cl, v. good cork. This was great straight after opening and just as enjoyable after 2 hours in the decanter. I expected the fresh red-fruit strawberry/rasperry/morello tang, but this bottle has much less volatility on the nose than I remember from previous ones, and a gorgeously round, ripe mid-palate. Obvious, but perfectly integrated old oak treatment. Gentle raw leather-tannins on the finish make it mouth watering and moreish. Perfectly mature tonight, but no hurry at all. 92P
