Bottled under Diam. 14.5%. A nice purple colour. Fresh cassis fruits with some cedar, tobacco, mint and earth. Full and round in the mouth. Ripe tannins and good freshness to the finish.

I'm told this is wildly popular with Society members. I can just about see how old-fashioned Claret lovers with very limited funds and even more limited imaginations could find this attractive. But to my nose it smells like a stinky old Cabernet with a lot of oak. I think it's undrinkable. Utterly foul.

Flowers, spice, earth and truffle work together in the nose. On the palate, the wine is Medium-bodied, soft, forward and fruity and will be best over the following 8-10 years. Drink from 2023-2032.

Medium-bodied, soft, fruity, round, sweet and fresh with a plummy character on the palate and in the finish. 86-88
