Tasting Notes
Incredibly deep red, almost black in colour, this wine shows all the usual blackberry, star anise and ferrous characters that we have come to expect from this site. Rich and ripe on the palate, it displays plenty of texture and length driven by the robust natural tannins present. Excellent cellaring potential.

Scores
94 / 100"It's not the brightest card in the pack but it may well be the blackest. This is a deep set wine, crammed with asphalt, caramel and bay leaf flavour, the finish grandly (and warmly) tannic. Heavy wine in a heavy bottle."
