Less evolved appearance than the Taylor shown alongside, bricking on the rim but opaque at the centre. Wonderful open nose of attractive violets and junipers. Balanced entry with a grassy edge and so much fruit; but there is a structural core of clean, pure acidity. The two combine to give a great palate presence, really big. Glorious floral aftertaste with a big finish of raisins and sultanas. This will grow old with grace and distinction. 94/100. Drunk 14-May-14
