"Ooh, that's nice... just like velvet" said Mrs B. Just about sums it up really. Damsons and plums on the nose lead through to quite a complex wine on the palate, with blackberries, a bit of cherry, cedar cigar box, vanilla and a hint of spicy coffee grounds combined with silky smooth tannins on the finish. Quite possibly my favourite vintage to date and I will look forward to seeing how this evolves over the next few years. Really good wine and highly recommended.
