Over two nights. Svelte with good intensity, dark fruit, some blackberry, faint pencil. Nice wine. I prefer this to the ‘05 and 15 I’ve had in the last couple of years. Possibly some upside as it approaches drinking window. 93-95

Dark fruit, good acidity, felt fresh with good form and nice structure. About 93/95 for me. Will likely improve, but felt somewhat open for business with appropriate air time

This wine seems a little polarising among those I follow on here.

I found it a good example of 2009, now entering its peak drinking window. Tannins were soft/plush and notes of blackberry. Generally good, if slightly unspectacular. In fact I saw this pretty much as purple tooth described recently

93-94 for me. I’m not expecting great development from here, but will hold my remaining bottle a few years, just for interest
