Outstanding, medium red with some browning. Concentrated fruit, complex with very long. Drunk over two days- remained as strong day 2. Can evolve further. A rare treat ad almost a crime to drink!

opened cork and advised to decant just 30 minutes before drinking. Strong raisins on opening. Colour quite translucent and light red but with a touch of tawny brown. Delicate, long and surprisingly fresh given age. Some fruit. Very impressed - first bottle I have ever had from this shipper. 65% bottle drunk, then finished remainder 3 days later - held up well.

first bottle from case. Cork split. Bad start. Nose closed. Decanted and drunk after 2 hours quite disappointed. A bit syrupy and short. Drank again day 4.What a difference . Much more complex and drinking really well. greatly enjoyed.
