Decant: 5 hours - From magnum. Light in colour, not an intensely coloured wine, very clear centre, very pale rim. Enormously minty nose - almost Taylor-like. Underneath all the mint are some ripe, red raspberries. Sweet and elegant with terrific poise, keeping its redcurrant sweetness and plumminess all the way through the mid-palate. Very pronounced, long lasting and extremely enjoyable aftertaste. 92 points
