John Livingstone-Learmonth: Ruby-tile robe; the bouquet bears coffee, and has a sweet nature, and straight after opening out come flowers and somequite profound menthol-charcoal airs.Gains roundness with air, and rolls nicely then. There is nice gras on the palateattack, and surprising richness for its age—the flavor centers on black jam with some licorice and spice. The texture is roundall the way through, and there is a very good sweetness on the finale. To 2013 orso, but this is really there in its maturity now. **(*) (10.5–12/12.5–14)
