This is a Vintages Essentials product always available in select stores. It opens with a lifted nose of floral, spice and red berry fruit before bursting on the palate with rich luscious shower of sweet cassis, rich ripe black currant and nuances of spice and savoury herb. Mid weight and nicely textured, the finish is balanced and fruity. (Vic Harradine)
