Reviews

Medium red-purple; the elegant bouquet has good fruit ripeness, which flows through into the mid palate of the wine. The oak has been well handled, the wine finishing with pleasantly dry, savoury tannins. An excellent follow up to the outstanding '98 vintage.
Remarkable wine that's still very lively with elegant berry, blackberry and cedar flavours. Beautifully structured with great balance. Complete wine that's good now but has time ahead
