Neil Beckett | Emmanuel's best approximation of the final blend, which will average 40% new oak, from a range of preferred coopers reduced from eight to three in this vintage. A lovely nose, graceful, lightly earthy, very finely roseate, complex and subtle. A glorious texture, finely and multi-layered, with great definition and structure, still coming into balance, Emmanuel suggests, but it should all harmonize perfectly and be wonderful when it does. | 94–95?
