Decanted for about 30 mins. This is a plush, fruity wine with lots of plum and blackberry as well as a good dose of sweet oak. The palate is also very fruity, dark berries, strong tannins, but with a sting of alcohol. A nice enough wine, but after yesterday's beauty, this feels a bit rough.

Terry in town. Had alongside the '05. Drinking well, a little less resolved. These are big, warm wines packed with with dense layers of fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Pronounced peppery notes on the nose. Palate just a little muted. Still quite tannic, a bit boozy. Preferred the '05.

Très bien, un peu minéral, encore assez rond mais ne pas trop tarder pour le boire.

Good ripe fruit of a warm climate region, but as one would expect low on acidity, which has taken away from the experience of the wine.

Same notes as previous, really a special wine for the price. integrated and balanced really well with a long savory finish.
