Tasting note:

Lovely juiciness and savoury character with black cherries and blackberries. This wine goes down slippery-fast: the type of wine where you’re chatting and then look at your glass and wonder who drank it when you weren’t looking. Top me up!

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Sweet berry and plum, with a hint of oak barrels on the nose. Full-bodied, round and velvety, with lots of new wood and ripe fruit. Chewy. A powerful version. Best from 2010 through 2014. Score: 90 Source: James Suckling, jamessuckling.com
