Jancis Robinson Julia Harding - 28 Nov 17
100% new oak. Barrel sample. Dark crimson with darkest core. Dark and a touch charry on the nose. Succulent and utterly captivating with fragrant charm and a dry tannic finesse that is beautifully modulated with the fruit and freshness. Stunning now but so much more to come. So much juicy freshness even in a serious and long-term wine. (JH)
