Saturday, August 28, 2010 - Luxurious scent: almost pinot-like dark cherry, forest floor earthy gutsiness and a touch of balsamic iodine sticking-plaster. Rich palate, pleasantly but not overbearingly sweet and furry tannins. Medium-long finish, on which an unpleasant mouldiness briefly resurfaces which was only just detectable on the palate. A lot going on here. I suspect this wine was at its peak about a year ago and is declining now. 89P, marked down from 91 because of that mould taint.
