94/100 - Jamie Goode Tasted: 02-Jan-1990

91/100 - CellarTracker (8 notes)

17,5/20 - Jancis Robinson Tasted: 01-Dec-2008

Very developed. Very rich and raisiny and satisfying, A little kick at the end. Pruney and utterly seductive…Clever anyone who has this in their cellar. A bit dry, and a bit of dry curry spice, on the finish. Jancis Robinson
