Vintage started 3rd October (16.5 hl/ha). Very deep colour - maturing but toffee-dark. Warm mushrooms - nose of roses. No dry notes - cinnamon originality. Both rich and tannic. Aftertaste of prunes. Last tasted in Methuselah. Wonderful nose of wild herbs on the 'garrigues'. The taste gets fuller and fuller in the glass. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
