(2000) Fantastically dark, dense and opaque colour for the year. Gorgeous ripe fruit on the nose with that savoury, leathery cedar-wood character this wine develops with bottle age. Very appealing. There's still a fantastic super-ripeness of fruit - very sweet and dusty black fruits and brown sugar - and first class concentration. On the palate all elements are beautifully integrated and there's lots of oak, blackcurrant, orange, spice and coffee. Long, focused and lovely. Plenty of time ahead of it too.
