Tasting Notes |
Dark mulberry colour. Quite raw on the nose. Very rich and sweet at first and no dry elements. Well done! Thick and sweet and very modern but well judged. A real hedonist's wine. For those who like seriously luscious modern wines in which you can stand a spoon up. Drink 2011-2018 Sweet almost confected nose, juicy and sweet, big dose of oak, Parker style? Too sweet perhaps? (AW). Jancis Robinson |
Good core of ripe fruit, with blackberry and dark chocolate character. Medium body, chewy tannins and a medium finish. Falls a little short. James Suckling |
Well, not as over-the-top as the 2006, but the nose is still overdone for me, with black cherries, raspberries coulis, a touch of limestone and blackberry leaf. The palate is very tannic, but I think better balanced and with greater delineation than in previous vintages. Blackberries, minerals, loganberries with a certain minerality towards the finish. Very backward and primal, but certainly I warm to this much more than recent vintages. Tasted April 2008. Neal Martin |
