Neil Beckett: (Bin 9 Grange) An astonishing color for its age: very dark ruby, with a glowing, warm, ruby/tawny rim. Dense but refined, restrained, and subtle on the nose: dried blackcurrant, still very Cabernet, with great integrity of fruit and no wayward volatility. Ravishingly silken and supple on the palate, seamlessly woven, still gently supportive, with a gloriously rich, sweet flavor, and lingering finish. Magnificent, munificent wine. Drink now. 18.5
