From a superb vintage, this is a dark, brooding ruby red wine with complex spicy aromas showing smoky cedar and cassis. The palate is opulent, replete with elegant prune, musk and dark chocolate persisting through a long, polished finish of fine, ripe tannins. From a low volume , intensely flavoured vintage this wine will develop complexity with 10-12 years of careful cellaring. Ideal now for drinking with rich meat dishes and hot curries.
