(2023) This wine is the precise colour of Rowan Atkinson’s McLaren F1. At first a trace of smoke on the nose, but swirl and swirl and this goes. Just the densest sense of pure violets, coiled power on the nose. Huge. And it’s all underpinned by a slab of pure blackcurrant fruit. Very long on the palate, fine tannins. This is up there with the very best I think. (JH). Tasted en primeur so score is provisional.
