N....huge; sweet intense fruit, loved it.
T.....medium body, hint of weird medicinal impression; this wine seems dry enough to edge towards a Foodie style; a lot of fruit concentration, at 7 yrs old it is still needs more cellar time.
Rec RP £80.00.....not sure I'd be happy to pay that. £50 ? (531 views) | | | Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 11/18/2018 & rated 93 points: Pioneers & Visionaries: Deep purple color. Aromatically, I get waves of deep, dark fruit (blackberries, blueberries, black cherries) and complex bursts of eucalyptus, black pepper, espresso, violets, anise. Big and full on the palate, built well with tannins but the edges are fine and the acidity here is really inviting and refreshing. Suave blackberry, blueberry, black currant, mixed with coffee, anise, dark chocolate, eucalyptus, with an earthy, peppery finish. Long time ahead but beautiful young. Aged 20 months in French oak.
