  Was a little afraid this would be over the hill, but no problem. The cork was quite soaked but seemed intact. Airing ca ½ hour in the glass. Rather vibrant nose of tropical fruit, mainly banana and some grassy aromas. Dry on the palate, showing surprisingly good flavors of tropical (banana) fruit and currant. A hint of creamy oak. Good acidic structure. Hardly showing any signs of age. But I wouldn´t really know how the 2010 vintage would taste (!)
  Nevertheless, this is very good stuff.
  Second day notes: After spending 24 hours in the fridge it had even improved; very solid, vibrant and balanced. Excellent.
