Classic savoury claret, with notes of graphite, minerals, leather and spice. There is a slight Bretty/gamey note but the chewy tannins simply melt away to reveal cocoa on a very long finish. Beautifully balanced with a fine structure. From previous bottles my expectations were low but this has really improved with age. Superb. CHP 92 pts

Classic, mature claret. Drinking well, thinning on the finish but aged notes emerging. Brick red rim, starting to dry, but lovely lingering flavours. Keeping my last one for fans of older wines.

Nice and smooth. You feel the Cabernet S - integrated tannins. Ready to drink.

Drinking well. Classic Bordeaux, nice balance, good fruit, a little tannin on the finish. Nice wine.
