Sunday, September 10, 2023 - This is too young to award 100p, but there's nothing holding it back.
At 14 years of age, it still behaves like a newborn rascal…
Black-red colour.
Aromas of dark-dark fruit, licorice, anise seeds, licorice and darkness.
In the mouth the dichotomy of the superbly rich and dense body compared to the wine’s fabulous acids and elegant demeanor.
Wow!
This is indeed a copy of the blueprint of Grange Hermitage without the extreme extraction.
After double decanting, the level of the wine was still mid-neck.
Quite a specimen wine!
