Julia Harding MW (from JR team) (2019.10.29):

"Mid crimson. Ripe, dark, with plenty of sweet oak but the fruit is there too, and a dark rocky savouriness, maybe just a touch of (nice) charry reduction.
Moreish even though the tannins are quite thick and chocolatey.
Should age well. Better with at least another year in bottle while the tannins slim down."
