Second time I have had this and my last bottle. Crumbly cork. Not decanted. Softer than the last bottle I had. Notes of blackberries, mint and raw meat. The tannins were fading but there was an elegance about this wine. 89 points.

Still great. Am on campaign to make room in my cellar for new acquisitions, and have found some bottles that I overlooked and may now be past their prime. Not this one! Fruit on the nose, berries and licorice on the tongue. Very smooth, aged very well.

Tasted alongside the 2006 Silver Label. Both still fresh and delicious, the Silver actually showed as well or better than the Olive Hill. Previous "drink now" comments are nonsense.

Was a bit worried given the year but after a little time it opened up and we really enjoyed with dinner. But definitely drink em if you have em.
