88 | Starting to show tertiary notes of earth and leather. The palate has plenty of flavour: sweet new oak and dark fruit. Tannins are very low-key.
92 | Intense and brooding bouquet of dark plum, char and smoke. Big opulent and plush offering good intensity of dark plum fruit, supported by ripe tannins. A bigger style but still in check.
92 | Tarry, smoked-tea nose. Creamy texture with concentrated fruit character, toffee and treacle oak-derived finish. Complex.
