TASTING NOTES
A deep colour, showing some maturity. Attractive aromas on the nose, a mature, claretty, iron-like character. Full style on the palate, quite dry, with firm tannins. A moderate texture and a dry fruit finish.
BACKGROUND

Only 20% of the barrels are replaced with each vintage, so there is an appreciable amount of old oak in use here.
