(01-2003) Medium garnet with considerable amber, this fully mature, uninspiring wine is open knit and ripe, with a rich, weedy, black currant aroma. A rapidly evolving wine, it exhibits good concentration, a round, gentle texture, and a decent finish with some dry tannin. Anticipated maturity: Now.
(05-2000) Sweet, flavoury, charming, and with a lovely aftertaste.
