This wine is drinking very well at the moment. Was lovely last night with a nose of cherry cola and herbs. On the palate, it was red fruited with good acidity and well integrated oak and tannin, with a hint of sous bois earthiness. Lovely wine. Ready to drink but no rush.

Well this is kind of interesting story. I took this bottle from my cellar, pulled the cork and pures some in my Zalto Burgundy..what a magnificent nose, so first sip....and what the !!! it tastes almost like it has heavy cork...took a sip more and no not good at all.....so ran back to my cellar got another bottle...almost same result i was shocked....and thought okay let me try my Zalto Bordeaux and that helped a bit. After maybe 30 minutes or so i realise its not corked but very heavy tasting oak, almost no other flavours, although it was fine to drink. But didn't live up to what it was a year ago..... Had the 2nd. bottle the evening after and it was almost dead, okay to drink but not more.....so either i was extremely unlucky and caught the wine at a really bizarre stadium, i will say that its time to drink it up if you have any bottles of this left. If someone here has some bottles and they are fine, it would be interesting to hear.

I find it a really good wine, over the evening it developed and i think from my impression it will only be better some years ahead from now. I had the wine in Zalto Burgundy glass. By the way i think it would be great if more people would share which glasses they use for a wine as it can have a good amount of impact on how the wine is. Also my 88 should be 88, 7 so i think in some years it will be an 89 pointer.
