James Lawther: Different in style from the 2009 but equally impressive. Strikingly dark hue. Nose complex with dark fruit, spice, licorice, and lanolin notes. Medium- to full-bodied weight. Amazingly intense. Freshness again palpable on the nose and palate. Finely worked tannins. Zesty and long. Linear and precise. Drink 2016–40. 17.5
