In 2015, this was the star of a very starry evening, oozing class, ripeness and sheer volume. Rich and cedary, this was a magnificent bottle and a truly exciting wine, with vinosity, dimension and myriad flavours firing on all cylinders. Just try that texture too - it may be a food, not a wine. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
