A classical vintage that perfectly suits the Opus style. Deep ruby/purple-hued, with a gorgeous perfume of cassis, darker raspberries, spicy oak, and obvious minerality, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, seamless mouthfeel, lots of...

Deep purple with an opulent, luxurious nose of violets, cassis, espresso and cocoa. The palate is pure silk, the tannins plentiful but ultra-refined. The oily black fruit follows from the nose but has a blood orange lift, tether with more notes of bitter...

Charred caramel and liquorice aromatics, with sappy acidity accompanying generous olive tapenade, blackberry and raspberry fruits on the opening beats. Deceptively silky tannins, they are tactile and supple at first then close in through the mid palate,...
