Red and dark berries as well as some pleasant vanilla in the elegant bouquet. On the palate there is some development, red berries, pleasant acidity and round tannin. Really nice wine in its maturity stage, but no extreme hurry necessary.

This has entered a very nice drinking plateau. Complex dark fruited and earthy nose with dense palate of cedar and earth with ripe cassis and some Indian spices. Very good.

I popped and poured this one - to my regret. I'm sure it would have benefitted from decanting a few hours in advance. Lots of black currants and some leather and coffee in the nose. Needs a few more years in the cellar from, I think...

The bottle variation of this case is perplexing, this was a good bottle though but it has a lot more density that the others that I have popped to date. Just shedding its youth, will hold for 10 years but should peak in 3-5

Was a bit too warm on opening which may have dulled the taste. Poured into a decanter at a restaurant.
Nice wine - just didn't sing at all - very subdued and could have been caused by the warm conditions.
No score given - need to try a different bottle.
