Good full red. Currant, plum, minerals, roasted nuts, cedar, and a sweet marzipan note on the nose. Smooth, fresh and deep on the palate; a mineral pungency and firm structure give the wine good grip. Here the tannins coat more of the mouth. The '97 will make a more agreeable drink in the two or three years following the bottling than this vintage, but this '96 is a more serious wine.In Bond£1,355.00 -
