Deep, bold purple/red colour, with a powerful sweet oak and ripely spicy, plummy fruit bouquet. Traces of nutmeg and mixed spices. The wine is full-bodied and firm, with lashings of tannin and grip, which lasts long on the farewell. A powerful, concentrated wine which has absolutely no fear of tannin. It cries out for a little cellar-time. Superb.06 JAN 2019 Drink 2019–2036
