BUY THE WINE

Simon Field: Magnificent, embarrassingly rich on the nose; treacle, molasses, ancient evenings, and the call of Empire. Palate rich, sweet, and amazingly fresh; a strident and laudatory voice in defense of the over-40s. As Hardy would have it, it is the touch of imperfection upon the perfection that adds all the beauty. 18.5

Richard Mayson: Red-tinged mahogany; olive rim. Cooked aromas, a hint of Marmite and dog biscuits. Fresher and more lively on the palate but with a rather stewed, clumsy finish. 12.5

Margaret Rand: Lovely nose, perfumed and elegant. Palate still powerful but subtle, raisiny and sweet, leaving an impression of sweetness above all. 16
