In 2019, a glorious, lingering perfume of red fruit, oozing charm - maybe like 1953 when it was much younger. On the palate, it is all velvety fruit, beautifully balanced and at peace with itself. Harmony and freshness and clearly still with a future. Not a blockbuster, with the tannin, say, of 1986 - more of a fruity charmer. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
