BUY THE WINE

Neil Beckett: 2005 Black/purple. Impressive to smell: coconutty, but also very vivid in its fruit. Dry, still very embryonic, but well extracted, fleshy, harmonious, pure, and sweet on the mid-palate, with a long, straight finish. Needs a long time to open, but should be terrific. I marginally prefer this to the generally more highly rated 2004. Drink to 2025. 16.5
