Third bottle from the case and first one I liked. Maybe bottle variation, maybe it just needed the time. Fruity and earthy, medium-bodied. Needs 30 min decant.

A fascinating contrast against the Leoville-Barton 2005. It was quite full plump and generous, tasting of dark fruits flavoured with game. Quite rich, a touch bretty, softer and more extracted. Not quite the classic style I have come to admire, but still a very fine wine. CHP 91pts

A private dinner with friends (Café Parlotte, Amsterdam, NL): Rich fruit, powerful and concentrated, energetic, firm structure. Everything that it should be.

Great - complex multi-layer slightly austere classic Bordeaux, with black fruits, scent of graphite, maybe a subtle note of pickle brine, light fine aromas, fresh structure. It is ready to drink, but will probably further improve with aging

Delicious wine with classic pencil shaving, ripe black fruit, tannins still present but melded, great depth of flavour and providing a long, satisfying finish. Tasted alongside a Pichon Longueville La Lande and it came second. Fantastic nonetheless.
