Tasting Note: Oh how I love this wine. I first tried it years ago when this wine was young and then I didn't sample it until this year again. Dusty, dry and with cherry stone and leather chairs on the nose, with an evolving palate that softens to a delightful older wine flavour after a couple of hours in a decanter."
