Individual judgesâ scores: Stephen Brook 18 Michael Schuster 17.5 Steven Spurrier 16.5
Well-expressed and quite fragrant cassis- Cabernet fruit nose. Opulent and creamy, with an effortless quality of extraction. Tannic but not excessively so, and acidity gives spice as well as persistence. Looking good, for those who can wait!
