Elegant aromas of men's aftershave, floral and oak spice with sweet black fruit. The palate has a lovely medium weight to it with blackberry and currant fruit, spiciness too, but there's a hint of greenness on the finish which I have not detected on this vintage before. To be fair I'm drinking this wine cellar cool and perhaps it could be a little warmer so the tannins are a little more prominent than normal but nonetheless a very enjoyable wine which will get better with age. I've drunk this wine at 25 years old at its still very good!

Notes consistent with last time, BlackBerry and olives on the nose and palate. Elegant flavours and pronounced savoury finish. A lovely wine which matures beautifully, I’ve had this wine at over 20 years old.

Beautiful fragrant aromas of blackberry fruit and floral notes. The palate has a concentrated texture, blackberry and blackcurrant plus black olives and tapenade on the long savoury finish. Getting better each year of maturity.

Lovely fragrant aromas of blackberry, herbs, spice and cedar. The flavours are concentrated with blackberry fruit at the start followed by a fine, savoury finish. This wine is still in it's primary phase but is aready lovely now.
