Where's the auction that's selling at £10.36? Worth buying another dozen! Not dramatic, but smooth and satisfying. Slightly brown at the edges; blackcurrant and cedar on the nose and palate; a little lacking in acidity and the tannins are very soft, but a satisfying finish.

Amazing that this continues to improve. (See my notes of 7.9.2011 and 11.28.2008) A really lovely, balanced wine, with power. Decanted 2 hours (broken, crumbly cork so filtered as well) but just as good the following day.

My last 4 bottles, consumed over the last 2 months have been superb and right up to expectations. The balance, strength and finish have arrived. As always, I should have bought more all those years ago.
