From magnum in 2010, a marvellous, vivacious, vibrant bouquet that bounces out at you. Almost heady blackcurrant leaves. Extraordinary,piercing intensity - cuts like a knife. Great, sweet, strawberry fruit on the palate. A massive fruit-bowl of a wine. Blackcurrant wine gums. Sheer heaven. Just lingers forever with its red and black fruit flavours and silky texture. Cassis and coffee - and pure bliss. Breed in liquid form. Serena Sutcliffe, MW.
