James Suckling (98)Extremely aromatic and floral, showing dried violets and blackberry and strawberry character. Full-bodied and creamy with very fine tannins that give a caressing, silky texture that is long and persistent. Exotic in many ways but so polished. A wine of contrasts. Made from old vines. 74% merlot and 26% cabernet franc. Drink after 2029. |
