Settling into a lovely wine. Dark but with brick edges developing. Forest floor, damp nose. Fruit balanced and complex. Will keep growing over next few years.

Dark cherries. Spice. Balanced and long. Settled into a lovely wine. Sure will improve or change over next three to five years but drinking beautifully now.

Lovely. Needed a few hours opened and decant to open up. Tannin still a little dry but lovely forward fruit and hints of leather and wood. Will be gorgeous as years go by. Sure it has ten years life in it through different stages of life.

Too young, obviously, but i'm not sure this will become as great as the 2007. It does have wonderful dark fruit and licqourice, but lacks a bit minerality and freshness compared to 2007. Will definitely improve, though.

Drinking very well. Pretty powerful stuff - a little rugged but not a bad drop at all
