From hill-grown vines planted between 1986 and 1996, the elegant 2019 vintage (5*) was hand-picked, matured for a year in French oak puncheons (20 per cent new), and bottled unfined and unfiltered. Deep ruby, it is mouthfilling, complex, savoury and supple, with concentrated, youthful, well-ripened cherry, plum and spice flavours, hints of herbs and nuts, and strong personality. Best drinking mid-2022+.
