Last of 3 bottles and have proved an excellent buy. This has evolved quite a bit since my first bottle a couple of years back. Flavours are all very integrated and harmonious. Blueberries more than blackberries. Pleasant smokiness too. Surprisingly sweet finish.

75. Similar to last years sample of this vintage, jammy plum, tart, then oak and a lingering astringency that is not too pleasant. It hasn't gotten better with age and I think I buy better wines now hence the declining score.

Like eating a blackberry with more of the seeds. Mild dry tannic finish lingers for a bit. Still good but maybe dying off a bit from last time.

Could do with another year or 2 in cellar - alcohol level overpowering complexity you can taste is developing
