Medium to full-bodied, deep and nicely concentrated, with a vibrant core of ripe and fleshy fruit, lively acids and powdery structuring tannins that assert themselves on the youthfully firm finish, this shows considerable promise.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWine Spectator says:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e94 points, Rock-solid, with a mouthwatering roasted apple wood and mesquite frame around a well-layered core of black currant, blackberry and plum fruit flavors. The finish features dots of tobacco and tar that add range, but the real driver is a long bolt of iron, which gives this a throwback feel. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDecanter say:\u003cbr\u003e94 Points, Such a deep, concentrated nose, full of ripe blackcurrants and black cherries. Great intensity and concentration on the palate, some dark spicy notes, liquorice, black pepper and cinnamon around the edges alongside layers of juicy and succulent ripe fruit. A full, bold wine no doubt, real power here but stylish and energetic. If you like the gourmet style, this one is great.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlc.
