Tom Cannavan (01-2003) Pure blackcurranty, cassis ripeness here. Terrifically creamy and pure, as well as being elegantly rounded-out by background creamy oak. There's a nice note of bitter dark cherry on the palate, with a more dense, thick tannic layer supporting deep fruit. Lovely depth and structure but beautifully balanced.
