This might be called a 'feminine vintage', if the phrase were still allowed! Red fruit and cinnamon on the nose. Cedary too. Very full of dry spices. A superb taste of cassis and loganberries. It really is like eating spoonfuls of fruit, with a touch of aniseed on the finish. At 28 years old, this has reached its optimum point where the wine just demands to be drunk. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
