BUY THE WINE

Jamie Goode | Some herb and earth notes as well as a twist of mint. Quite evolved, showing sweet, stewed fruit and a touch of earthiness. Mellow and mature now. The fruit is a bit faded. | 86

Peter Richards | Malty, black bread aromas. Dark and somewhat inscrutable. Savory tones on the palate, along with some succulent tannin and, while it has decent persistence, it lacks the real breadth and thrill of a great wine. Limited in scope. | 88

David Williams | The sweet fruit is still the dominant taste here, but the alcohol here is entirely dominant, particularly on the finish. It lets the side (or rather, the pretty, gently maturing fruit) down. | 85
