A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: This is showing well now, reaching a fine stage of evolution between fruit and more earthy/savoury/evolved character. The palate still offers some nice grip and a succulent range of dark fruit and spice flavours, and solid length. Decant and serve with salty protein, or cellar another half dozen years. Nice. Score - 90 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com, Nov. 2016) |
