November 24, 2014 - Nice mature burgundy colour. Lots of sweet red fruit on the nose with plenty of mushroom and truffle notes too.
Light, bright and remarkably fresh on the palate. Lovely integrated fruit, very soft and open. But really fills the mouth too. Beautifully balanced with a very pleasing acidity and the residues of some sandy tannins.
This is pretty much à point, though there's no sign of fading, so it would probably hold happily until the end of the decade, I think. Finishes well and has very good length. Perhaps a little one dimensional and missing a bit of complexity. But still a treat.1,332 views
