November 1, 2008 - I chose this very expensive bottle to accompany a gorgeous venison dish at Mulberry Restaurant, Langshott Manor (England), which it did beautifully. The bottle was poured into a decanter usually used for magnums, thereby providing more surface area for air to make contact and help the wine release its ample aromas and flavour.
Sight: An almost inky, port-like colour in the middle with russet edges. Nose: Kerosene upfront but this quickly dispersed in favour of parma violets and liquorice. Taste: This is a wine that won't let go; every sip provides an explosion of fruit, particularly plum and blackcurrant, and it lasts and lingers for a long time. Tannins provide a heavy dry mouth but the flavours intensify the longer the bottle is open. Very satisfying.5,430 views
