Really nice savoury wine with a juicy fruit backbone. Dusty and nice fine tannins. Drying but not overtly. — 9 years ago

1990 vintage.

Gifted a taste from a guest who brought this in and it was superb. Red berries, dusty old boxes, earth, florals, this wine had a box for every note and you could check off every one of them. It was superior in terms of fine tannins and silken texture and was just amazing. — 10 years ago

The way C Classico should be. Purely red fruit, rose petals, earthy minerality, cedar and tobacco oak. Medium to light bodied, fresh and acidic, sour red cherry, cranberry and and a lovely long dusty oak finish. Good purity — 10 years ago

This was fantastic. Lots of earthy, dusty preserved red fruit. Not too tannic, but definitely still pretty tight. I'm so glad I have another bottle! — 12 years ago

Not quite as sensational as our bottle in February due to storage differences. Cooked fruit of; rhubarb, raspberries, strawberries, dusty crush stones, leather, dark vanilla barrel toast, black earth and pebbles, black tea, hint of mushroom. Finishes soft and elegant with just a touch of funk. Hope you all enjoyed Christmas!!! — 10 years ago
