Tasting Notes :Deep garnet colour. Earthy, gamey nose with some warm plum and dark cherry fruit plus a touch of leather and girolles. The palate gives lots of layers of fruit and savoury flavours – very peppery. Well structured with medium to high acidity and a medium+ level of finely grained tannins. Long finish. A good example of an old school wine that works beautifully. Drink now to 2016. Tasted February 2009.
