Really enjoyed my last bottle. At 7 years, the wine is rich and harmonious, not porty, succulent, running the gamut from red fruits through to leather.

A huge wine, very animal. Drank very nicely fresh from the wine fridge at about 14 degrees, but I found that after it warmed up further the leathery, foresty, and animally stuff was so powerful as to obscure the rather lovely fruit background, so I kept it in the fridge between dinners.

Happily, the pleasure contained in this bottle confirms that the first was simply a dud. Great intensity and depth, black currants right through to leather. A lovely wine.

Simple. On the light side. Easy drinking. Could have used some more oomph

Very disappointing. I suspect cork interaction. I really hope the next one is better because in my memory this wine is outstanding.
