88–90. Barrel sample. Ripe, almost Porty in character, the wine boasts very black fruit that shines through the tannins. The palate has a dry edge to it, revealing dark concentration and a firm aftertaste.

93-95 Barrel sample. Big, spicy wood, packed with dense, wood and fruit tannins. But the wood is over a base of broad fruit, sweet blackberries and ripeness.

88-90 Barrel sample. Ripe, but firm wine, its blackcurrant freshness tucked into stark tannins. Black plum juice gives both acidity and sweetness. The final is a balanced wine, lifted by spice.
