Scores
92 / 100"Deep red/purple colour, dark and brooding. Super-ripe blackberry and black cherry aromas with a tealeafy overtone, and the fruit is sweet and super-ripe in the mouth. Almost too ripe. It teeters on the cusp. Full, broad and almost a trifle floppy in its structure. Many will love the sweet, ripe flavours here."
