A dead ringer for petit château claret with beautiful, crystalline fruit. There are layers of blackberry, blackcurrant, mint, shoe polish, cedar, and vanilla – and that is just the nose! The moreish palate is packed in neat rows of blackberry, cassis, plum, and black cherry, against a backdrop of eucalyptus and vanilla. This will continue to develop if you can keep from drinking it; it’s surreal value given the price. 2026–2030–MP
