Palish ruby. Perfumed and with great intensity of fruit yet at the same time holding back. Old school in the best possible way. With damson, raspberry and hints of cardamon but this has seen large oak only. Juicy intense raspberry fruit with super-fine tannins, like they were pounded in a mortar. Long and a little muscular in its structure yet sheer perfection when it comes to balance. 18/20, Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com
