Vegetation and smoke on the nose, with cassis, cinnamon and cloves. So fresh on the palate, with excellent fruit and aromatic tannins. Supple and easy but with marked character and personality. Pure delight in 2011. And in 2012, it was all rich, mouth-coating molasses. Serena Sutcliffe, MW WA 93 7395:6 bts (cn) 7396:6 bts (cn)Estimates are per lot
