BUY THE WINE

Jancis Robinson: Purple/ruby. Slightly gamey, but this is a cask sample, so forgiven. Deep, dark fruit, lovely structure, lots of fruit, lots of tannin, excellent balance, great length. Needs 20 years. 18.5

Jeremy Watson: Lots of perfume, nice structure, good length and great future. 18.5
