It's splendidly ripe and fragrant on the nose, showing blackcurrant, rich floral, thyme and roasted nut aromas, leading to a richly expressed palate that's succulent and supple. Beautifully weighted and silky, finishing flavoursome and delectable. At its best: now to 2032. Score - 93. (Sam Kim, wineorbit.co.nz, Oct. 2023)

Pristine and beautifully lifted, the inviting bouquet shows black/blueberry, violet, olive and roasted nut aromas with a hint of dark cocoa. The palate is equally satisfying with excellent weight and plump mouthfeel, splendidly framed by fine-grained tannins, finishing long and silky. At its best: now to 2030. Score - 93.
