Press releases : "Good full mature colour. slightly sterner than the 1970, but it has undoubtedly more class. Less sturdy, better class of fruit. Indeed there is a mellow, old vine aspect here. This is very good indeed. Very long. Very complex. Very elegant." Clive Coates M.W. The Vine Now - 2002. |
