Smoky mineral, humus, and mature black currant nose. Precise, dark fruited palate with delineated minerality; long, complex, earthy currant finish. Accessible now but still with good future potential. 4.5/5

Decanted 1 hour, 3rd bottle of 4 purchased in 2015. This bottle was disappointing, quite dry, muted fruit, high acidity, lacking terroir, perhaps an off bottle. NR

Really nice, given the vintage. Some blackberries and subtle spiciness, pyrazine action (I'm OK with it), good balance - as expected and a savoury one.

A little disjointed. Nose of vanilla and fant red fruit. Tannins still aggressive. Not sure the fruit will outlive the tannins here. Acidity created a finish that's a bit too in your face.

I don’t think there’s much life left. That or it’s in a down phase. Sediment in the bottle, not much fruit on the nose or palate. I’d drink now.
