  good cork; hint of bricking; whiff of dill no nose; cocoa powder and cassis on entry; well-resolved tannins from oak where no expense was spared. Unfortunately, at this age, the fruit was not equally on par. As a consequence some shrill notes. Dubious QPR

  At a nice sinking stage. It has enough tannins to go for a few more years.

  Ripe dark fruit, hint of soya. Still big dusty tannins. Not sure if the fruit will win out in the end. The heavy bottle is naff
