A wine of extraordinary charm and complexity, now in the full glory of maturity. The bouquet is exquisitely scented, recalling roasted meats, smoked charcuterie, and a wide range of herbs including thyme, oregano and sage. The palate is rich and smooth as satin, with tremendous persistence and breathtaking harmony. An utterly gorgeous wine. (Difficult to reconcile with the bottle tasted a decade ago) - 99pts, Huon Hooke
