Mineral, smoky, spice, orange peel. So full and flavourful on the palate, with a line of that smoke from the nose embedded throughout. Superb texture, this is already delicious but could age for some time as well.

Blind. Apricot, musk, lemon, passion fruit and some smoke - plenty of interest. A smidge of residual sugar, but finishes austere toward the finish. Medium length and depth - really quite interesting.

AP #26. Spice, lemon, mineral and pear. Fantastic palate balance, light on its feet but has great depth to it already. Young but super lovely.

Earth, mushroom, floral and a touch of herb on the nose. Quite dry with good acidity and a little extract to it. Has more enjoyment than a previously tried bottle but still not thrilling, just nice.

Floral lift, lovely aromatic nose, spices, smoke, autumn leaves and a bit of a cola element as well. Quite bright on the palate thanks to the acidity and bright fruit. Good length and early enjoyability.

Opened about 2.5 hours prior and had closed up a bit since. Rhubarb, cherry, stem and blood - quite dark fruited and tight. Palate is also tight but had good balance and length. Give it time.

Musk, meaty, licorice and a touch of VA aromas. Powerful on the palate, still rather brooding but does have good fruit depth. Feels very characteristic of 2005. Very good tannins and potential.

Bright nose with graphite, cherry, raspberry and strawberry. Goid richness on the palate, really clean and bright as well. Really appealing, had style and also pleasure. Will develop further and nicely.

Truffle, cherry, some Brett influence for sure here but in the meaty spectrum rather than metal. Classic Sweet and sour fruit profile with excellent texture and length. Feels like drinking now is the perfect time.

Classic tar and roses with darker elements of licorice, earthy truffle and also raspberry. Really well composed palate with brightness from the fruit and acidity giving it real lift and serious structure with the fine tannins. Excellent, WOTN for me.

Apricot, quince, spice, yellow florals and lemon. Bright palate with powerful fruit but the sweetness providing support rather than stealing the focus. Powerful and precise.

Passionfruit, apple, pear, violet and spice. Gorgeous acidity drives the palate with great flow and balanced to it. Excellent drinking with some complexity behind it already.
