BUY THE WINE

Stephen Brook: The nose showed the class of this superb 2000: voluptuous and fleshy, with blackcurrant and plum aromas, and some sweet oak and coffee to add to the luxuriousness. Just as importantly, it had precisely the attack and charm so lacking in 2003. It’s highly concentrated, tannic yet sleek, and seems perfectly poised, elegant and zesty, and exceptionally long. If there are doubts, at least in my mind, about the longevity of the 2003, there are none when it comes to the 2000. 19
