Clove, vanilla, a touch of earth and strawberry. Well-structured palate, with the intensity to carry it off over the medium-to-long term. (TJ) Score: 17 Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com Maturity: 2026-2036 13 January 2020 |

This plays right on the edge of perceptible volatile acidity but I stress that it is quite subtle and basically helps to add lift to the pretty and relatively high-toned essence of red currant and spice plum that is trimmed in soft touches of earth and wood. The unusually supple, round and reasonably vibrant larger-scaled flavors terminate in a saline if slightly spiky and warmth finish. I suspect that this will better harmonize in time though I doubt that it will ever be distinguished. Score: 89 - 92 Allen Meadows, Burghound Maturity: 2030+ 10 January 2020 |
