Shipped by Rebello Valente. A lovely evolved colour, pale; 10% opaque. A beautiful nose of mature, sweet and spiced fruit. A wine which is just divine to smell and sniff. A little dry on entry, a touch woody and very spirity. Bitter dried cranberry finish, with a good — no, stunning — length. A little too old, or perhaps a touch under-decanted. 85/100. 02-Feb-22. Decanted 3 hours.
