“Tasted single blind at the Fine Wine Experience horizontal in London. This has a gregarious nose, very extrovert with ripe red-berried fruit, a touch of menthol coming through, the most New World of the flight so far. Touch of black olive tapenade and liquorices. Good definition though. The palate is full-bodied with firm tannins, good acidity, solid structure, very powerful and with great depth and persistency. Off-dry, masculine, tobacco, a little sous-bois, black tea and black pepper. Very good length and character and with time, the finesse really show through. So elegant and no doubt outstanding value given its marker price. Drink now-2018. Tasted October 2008.”
