Dark red cherry fruit; the nose gives a smooth impression, eventually adding a note of violets too – lovely! Very fine tannin and a good extract – nice wine, one of finesse, I like it very much.

Medium colour. The nose is rather mature and quite ripe with an undertow of undergrowth and eventually chocolate. After the last 1993 this is fuller and riper with apparently lower acidity. There is a medium-plus length of finish and very understated structure. I would characterise this as a very friendly and ‘cosy’ wine – particularly for a 93 – one to curl up with. Possibly not a wine for the ages but it’s coming into a nice drinking window now.
