Harvested before the rain - timing was all in this vintage. At 50 years old, there is a bouquet of its time that I can describe as 'damp cellars', bringing back a hoard of memories. The taste is all blackcurrant and richly redolent of mince pies, those dried fruit concoctions that the British eat at Christmas, spicy and rich. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
