TASTING NOTE:
Like a well-maintained vintage car, this simply oozes class and elegance. The nose is almost coquettish, with poached plums with star anise and orange peel, a hint of wood smoke, gravel and graphite, leading into a palate with more damson fruit, a little tobacco and scents of old leather bound books and "a point" tannins. Well-structured and with majestic length and finish. So smart and so appealling.
