Review

Just 250 cases made of this stunning wine; a previous vintage which was once described by James Suckling as like drinking a young DRC!

"The aromas alone—macerated cherry, plum, menthol, leather, liquorice, black pepper and mineral—are worth the price of admission here. Slowly beginning to unfold, this red is still firm and less expressive on the palate, with the addition of oak spice notes. Nevertheless, this is complex, long and sophisticated." - 97pts - Wine Spectator
