92/100 James Suckling
When to drink this wine : 2020 - 2032
Tasted by JS in 2019: "Attractive aromas of fresh and dried dark berries, with a hint of cigar tobacco. There's a sense of richness and power in this Cabernet-dominated blend (75%), but the tannins show finesse and polish. Drink now or cellar.
