Tasting Notes
97 Points James Halliday
The depth of its purple-crimson hue telegraphs an ultra-powerful wine of impeccable breed and balance, needing a minimum of 10 years to relax. In wine terms, the case to delay its release to coincide with that of Grange is obvious, but in financial terms it simply won’t happen. A great John Riddoch in the making.
