Launched at five years old, the 2007 vintage (5*) is rare – only 400 bottles were produced. Matured in new French oak casks, it is bold and still youthful in colour. Powerful and sturdy, it is very sweet-fruited, with highly concentrated plum and blackcurrant flavours, hints of liquorice and spice, and a finely balanced, very harmonious finish. Drink now to 2017.
