Medium red Deep, smoky nose shows a medicinal reserve to its raspberry fruit and flinty minerality. Deep, large-scaled and smoky, with outstanding palate-saturating breadth and generosity of texture. Voluptuous in the style of the vintage's best examples, and yet this has real sap. This voluminous, generous wine finishes with outstanding length and fully ripe tannins. One of the great wines of the vintage, and likely to go on for a couple of decades, at least.
