Tasting Notes Stuart Pigott for JamesSuckling.com: charming, fleshy and round, with terra-cotta, sour-cherry and red-berry aromas, a medium body, silky tannins and a long elegant finish. Allen Meadows for Burghound: poached plum, earth, spice and kirsch, with sappy texture and a long, youthfully austere finish.
