Inky dark to the rim with a nose of cedary, creamed red and black fruits, some distant spice, velvety with a lovely savoury note and just a hint of seriousness behind. On the palate fresh, spiced, exotic black fruits, green spices with cool, substantial supple tannins, less savoury than the nose and with a tight, structured finish. With a little more time, this will start to show its real plushness from this superb vintage. Drink 2025 - 2030. Tasted by Nicola Arcedeckne-Butler, MW
