A2: Deep, concentrated nose. Amazing palate density-concentration with balance. Warming, clean fruit driven finish. Citrus top notes developing. Sweetness aligned to fresh acid and underlying tannic structure. Excellent+ (Grahams)

Lovely red berries and dark cherries, lots of tannic structure, nicely balanced. Not extremely complex but reasonably so - not quite hitting the heights of the Stone Terraces. V good to excellent

Deep purple. Fresh and intense nose of black cherry, freshly-cut black grape, jammy blackberry, cocoa, pepper, violets, rock rose and perfume. The palate is filled with black forest fruit, spice and balsamic notes. The sweetness, alcohol, acidity and high but soft tannins are superbly balanced. The finish is very long, flavoursome and spicy. A complex and intense Graham's. 18.5/20
