98/100 55

Truly impressive wine with a wonderful perfumed aroma suggesting red cherry, spice and floral flavours. Powerful wine with a drop-dead texture. This has certainly got the X-factor. It is slightly ahead of Felton Road’s wine from the same vineyard and vintage. A magnificent drop the memory of which haunted me for days after I tasted it.
