In 2011, deep, mature and dense to the rim. Deeply intoxicating, warm arabica coffee nose. Chocolate, cocoa and total allure. Cinnamon. On the palate, so elegant and delicious with such style and class. So much finesse - the tannins have been tamed and the fruit has maintained all its persistence. Finishes half-lacy and half-pure power. The balance ensures longevity. Juicy violets at the end. In 2012, a crisp and gamey nose and a creamy texture and, in 2013, the taste is full of liquorice. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
