Appearance: clear deep garnet. Nose: medium plus intensity; aromas of licorice, meaty, black olive, medicinal, caramel, dark plum, dark cherry, dark chocolate , savoury, tomato paste. It’s developing. Palate: dry, high acidity with a lot energy and vibrancy, medium plus tannins very fine and smooth texture and fully integrated, medium plus alcohol, medium plus body, medium plus flavour intensity with red date, cherry, salted caramel. The finish is medium plus and close to long finish. Well matured in new world style. The fruit is intense and delicious with vibrant acidity carrying through the wine. Great complexity from bottle ageing that is charming and very pleasing! A beautiful wine!

Wow what a beautiful wine. Dark ruby in colour. Notes of cassis, herbal notes, and dark chocolate. Nice acidity, med body, smooth tannins. 12 years old and still so youthful. I wish I had more bottles.

Much more like it. Dark but shiny. Lovely nose with hints of meat and strong berries. Full rich flavour with good minerality and the acidity much more in balance than previous bottles. In a good place now

Excellent Cabernet blend. Subtle spice from the Carmenere. 100% ready to go.
At £60 IB decent QPR

Drank better after decanting for an hour. Solid prototypical Bordeaux.
