'This is moving ever-closer to a cooler, spicer style, the oak influence becoming less and less. It's also brimming with floral, violetty scent, the flavours that follow matching the style beautifully: pepper, aniseed, raspberry, cherry and blueberry, a husky meaty undercarriage packing it with interest. This is not a big wine: it's medium-weight and spice-driven, and at this early stage of its life,m it needs at least a few hours in a decanter to show its complex best. Preferably, it needs ten years in a cool, dark cellar. Great finesse. Drink: 2013-2022.'
Campbell Mattinson, Wine Front July 2007.
'Very stylish, elegant and savoury, with a heady, spicy and ethereal bouquet of smoked meats, blackberries, dark plums, briar and white pepper, backed by tightly integrated oak. Medium to full in weight, it's underpinned by finely powdered, dusty tannins, delivering a long, silky expression of dark and slightly meaty fruit culminating in a long and persistent finish. Evenly ripened and very regional.'
