It has a complex bouquet of beautifullydefined red currant, wild strawberry, heather and lavender thatblossom from the glass. The oak is very subtle, remaining quietlyin the background. The palate is medium-bodied, with suppletannins, great harmony and focus. Dark brambly red fruits,cranberry, minerals and a touch of white pepper all vie forattention but are supremely well-defined, while the pixilated finishhas firm grip and a sense of symmetry. It has great persistency inthe mouth – utterly delicious and extremely complex. Drink 2014-2025.History: ’08 92 IWC; ‘07 93 RPwww.oleimports.comPage 28 February 2013
