Deep, dark red colour with a good tinge of purple, the bouquet is very oak-driven and coconutty, toasty. Choc-mint and vanilla. It's full-bodied and rich, smooth and supple of tannin, the palate long and juicy and strangely seems less oaky the further it progresses along the palate. Very good and worth ageing.16 JUN 2017 Drink 2019–2030
