The Wine Front 96 points!

The Wine Front 96 points!'An amazing array of spice, fruit, earth, savoury, sweet and 'other' in the bouquet here ' so very deep, not assaultingly heady, just a piling of layers that makes for intriguing inhalation. The palate shows slippery rims, but the inward looking core is a black hole that reveals incredible depth of fruit with mille-feuille feel of gentle sweetness, slatey tannin, graphite minerality and leathery spice. Although deep, it's so far from overblown in richness ' there's a groaning weight but also freshness. The wine coats the mouth but without walloping it, instead opting for a machine-oil sumptuousness that peters out into chalky, fine tannins. Allow this to morph with time open too. Superior liquid.'
