Description
The modestly named Dry Red No 1 is Dr Bailey Carrodus' highly respected classic `Bordeaux blend', the greatest proportion being Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Malbec, Merlot & Petit Verdot. Its potential to age is proven and deservedly so. The 2004 comes over immediately with a typically herbaceous nose, followed on tasting by ample, cool fruit character with a firm tannic structure behind. This will need time, another two years at least, and it should last at least another ten years and longer if needed. For those interested, this weighs in at a respectable 13% abv.

95/100
A combination of 70-80% Cabernet Sauvignon, about 20% Merlot, and dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, the 2004 Dry Red Wine No. 1 offers a beautiful perfume of incense, dried herbs, red and black fruits, damp earth, and cedar. With fabulous fruit purity, medium to full body, and moderately high tannin, this rich, stunning red should age effortlessly for twenty years. It will be even better with 2-4 more years of bottle age.
