A classically sumptuous Grange of thickly concentrated fruit which borders on the porty and over-ripe in its leathery, earthy expression of plum and prune-like amarone flavours. Typically powerful and richly textured, this long-term wine is structured around ripe plum and blackcurrant fruit, thick new oak qualities of smoky chocolate, caramel and sweet vanilla and a firm, assertive backbone of fine-grained tannins.
