A beautiful nose, the true definition of autumn and all its mellow fruitfulness. Some polished wood and subtle vanilla pod notes back up the tarry, sticky, reduced black fruits, like picking around the edges of the crumble dish. Generous but not overly full-bodied on the palate, meaning it is remarkably fresh and defined with deep-set acidity and gently sweet, ripe fruit. The finish is dry, but not drying. A wine standing proudly at the end of its life, but it won't fall apart any time soon. It has all the cool freshness and straightness of the vintage.
