This is solidly built yet fine and flawless with cassis, scented floral, olive, cake spice and stylish oak aromas on the nose. The powerfully concentrated palate offers dazzling clarity of fruit purity as well as astonishing complexity, brilliantly structured by perfectly pitched chalky tannins. Beautifully layered with formidable depth and seductive texture, making this rendition of Coleraine undeniably spellbinding. At its best: 2030 to 2050

It is a hard act to follow the outrageously good 1998, but this wine stands tall and proud showing all the hallmarks of a great Bordeaux. The bouquet shows lovely perfume and complexity – red/black fruit, savoury meat and spice with a touch of floral. It is juicy, youthful and bright on the palate showing silky texture and delicate tannins. Lovely poise and style. At its best: 2015 to 2022. 52% cabernet sauvignon, 29% merlot, 19% cabernet franc. 13% ABV.

Unbelievably Good. Young, but the potential is overwhelming potent. Floral, nutty, intense small berried fruit, cedar, anise and sweet herb. Tight, medium- bodied, so concentrated but light too, ultra mineral, fresh, all the gravel and tense Cabernet feel, but with perfume unlocked: so flagrant and fragrant. The length is superb.
I’m taken aback by the beauty and essence like nature of this wine.
My precious. Easily one of the Best wines I’ve tasted in the last decade.
