(2023) The aromas on this wine are classic, with both pure, deep cassis and a touch of lift with violet, green olive and briar to add a frisson of excitement. Eleven months in French oak have added a chocolate depth. The wine is plush and mouth-filling, delivering plenty of bangs per buck with sweet and solid fruit across the mid-palate and very soft and seductive tannins and spices bolstering the finish. An especially good buy at Majestic's mixed six/Scottish price of £12.99.
