Decanted to serve. Completely shut and muted both on the nose and palate. No doubt theres lots of quality but this is 5-6 year away from ready. Like many 2009 reds, it is still sleeping.

Muted nose throughout! Lacked the aromatic fireworks of a RSV. Started out with a large dollop of vanilla on the palate. But with more air it started to integrate and show the layers beneath. Great concentration and structure with abundance of fruit. Will only get better from here. 93-95 potential

Simply superb. The dimension, composure, balance and precision are just amazing, rounded yet lifted with such detailed spice on the palate. Luscious, toned, concise and pinching; among the vintage heat and ripeness shows a flamboyant character. Supple beauty, my WOTN. 96-97
