Spot on description by Wine Ratings. Ok all the options are here in that description, but read between the lines and it's minerality and advanced characteristics of maturity and fruit that dominate. Love the Gravelly and cola taste ideas. i had bought it for pennies, put it in the loft (I've created an insulated storage area, and it seems to have matured fine). i opened it for my daughters 18th with some char griddled lamb. It is mature but not necessarily past its' best. I'm happy to save a bottle for the 21st birthday. It might not get better but who else will be in a position to taste these aged characteristics of the wine. This will be a wine of memory and sentiment. Nothing can beat those flavours.
