Rich, round, warm, dry palate with grainy tannins. Peppery, spicy, cassis, saddle leather, chocolate, vanilla, garrigue, tobacco leaf, meaty, licorice flavours. Despite the obvious alcohol it is well balanced for a big wine. Needs another 3 to 5 years in bottle to round out.Tasted: 28 December 2008Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
