Opened this bottle at home over home-cooked dinner to enjoy with my spouse. We had a ribeye steak, oven-baked eel, fries, salmon lasagne, butter corn and onion soup.
Dark purple in colour with notes of ripe plums and fresh berries. Overwhelming with a powerful fumes and delivers satisfaction up the nose and onto the palate. Some black spices, couple with rounded and smooth tannins makes this a very palatable wine.

Some wood & chestnuts aroma, juicy & fruit forward , with raspberries, strawberries , cherries, plum. Longish & very hot spicy finish .... very nice finish The texture is thinner than the 2008 wonderfully tarred Zippy block .... & more acidic .. 2008 has less ruggedness ... I prefer the 2008 Zippy block ...
