  I opened this half-bottle (bought on sale) to use as a sauce wine…but after tasting it…immediately used something else! While it has a very restrained nose of black and blue (plum) fruit and tobacco, the creamy body and dry but silkily gliding finish seemed in beautiful harmony. I enjoyed this throughout a pleasant, leisurely steak dinner at home.

  Slightly more tight and austere than last time although double decanted. Crushed red fruit, perfumed cassis on nose. Marked tannins. Balance is there. Opened up some during evening but I would let this one rest a year or two before trying again.

  Savoury, meaty, muted plummy fruit, slight red fruit note, sweet spice, very slight caramel. Juicy, more red fruited on the plate, savoury with yeast extract, tight tannic grip though this still retains a little freshness, Non intrusive alcohol warmth on the finish, Hmm
