Closed and tight when first opened, so decanted for 30 minutes and the wine opened nicely. Notes of raspberry and earth on the nose. The palate displayed cherry, lots of spice, and a bit of cola. The acidity was more than enough to balance. Should hold for a couple of years.

13.5% abv. Medium burgundy red. Expressive red fruit and floral aromas. On the palate, raspberry, cranberry, a little rose petal and spice. Good acidic structure, depth and length. Bradley does good work with this 30 year old vineyard!

This wine is still drinkable but fallen from its youthful vigor. Drink them up!

Excellent. Smooth and balanced, rich, but not overdone at all.
