Richard Mayson: Shaped by a hot, dry summer, with welcome sporadic rain during the vintage; mature brick-red to amber color; open but looking dry and fragile, with a touch of roasted coffee bean on the palate (characteristic of a hot, dry year) and roasted nuts, with an affinity to an old Tawny, fine and delicate, still sweet but drying on the finish. Drink fairly soon. 14.5
