When I was writing about this in the Big Red Wine Book I called this "seductive, but not at all tarty". Re-tasting it now I can see what I meant. It's a luscious, sweet-centred, bold wine, jammed full of blueberried fruit and clipped with toasty, cedary, creamy oak. This too is fragrant and full, its violetty aromatics and power through the finish clear signals of its outstanding quality. This is a champion wine, for the long haul. Drink: 2015-2025. 97 points.
