Amber colour. Treacly, slightly rancio nose. Delicate and dancing. Masses of delicate personality. The Lafite of the collection. (JR)
Copperish colour. Both nose and palate here are nutty and spicy, with salted dried fruits, old wood and cigar wrapper. The palate here has tangy acids and warming alcohol, moving it into a digestif-like feel. The concentration of flavour keeps all in balance, this is an earthy, mature, smoky wine.
