  A nice, attractive mature garnet. The nose is nice and delicate with soft red fruits and a gentle minerality. A light delicate palate with a lovely freshness. There is also a very notable tannic structure - quite sandy, grainy tannins, which give a rather drying sensation. But there's some nice, round, mature fruit that balances the structure nicely.

  A mid, very even garnet which doesn't really look like it's 23 years old. Quite a light nose with plenty of sweet cassis and masses of tobacco with a hint of port. With aeration, some minty, greener notes appear. Soft, sweet fruit on the attack. Very elegant and rich on the palate, yet really quite light. There is some power towards the finish, when there's a really chocolatey feel. Enormous length. Very Good Indeed.
