John Livingstone-Learmonth: Pretty, quite delicate red, with a little more depth than the 1984. The berry jam aromais a little “high,” with some game here —black-red berries come with a smoky tilt and have a lot of dance in them, with some biscuity airs as it ages. Has a harmonious, open, and rather fleshy start, and drinks very well now. There is a good mix of fruit and acidity, and it lengthens well. Has come together pleasingly. Shows affinity with the 1991 and 1994. A wine that is mature now, with traces of caramel on the palate as witness. 2018–20. *** (12.5–14)
