Deepest ruby with a full purple rim. Mulberry and plum fruit with hints of cured beef and cola spices on the nose. Dark fruits on entry, then meaty and iodine savoury complexities fill in and balance it well. There’s intensity here without being overbearing, an airy note that beguiles and surprises considering the power that is clearly here. Great length is carried by very finely built tannins and a hint of freshness from subtle acidity. Seriously impressive wine that has many years of fascination ahead of it 22 JAN 2024 Drink 2024–2040
