This wine has been checked and re-corked by Amorim, under the protection of an argon gas blanket, with each opened bottle being topped up with reserve wine from the same vintage, recorked, and resealed. This was done under the supervision of a technical team from Amorim Corks and Strauss & Co Fine wine Specialists Higgo Jacobs and Roland Peens, assuring provenance, quality and long life. The Seal code on the neck of the bottle can be traced on Amorim Recorking Directory

Critics Ratings
"Maturity noticeable on the nose only, with some cold coffee, clove and new leather notes complimenting the dark fruit and dried bouquet garni. The palate, however, holds the most youthful structure of all the 80’s, showing unresolved tannins and firm acidity. A structured, linear red, holding more ageing promise.” – Higgo Jacobs, 93/100 (March 2026 – Tasted at recorking.)
