Inky dark and not showing it's age at all. Well structured and balanced with a full mouth feel and a bit of chewy tannin on the end. Dark fruit, blackberry, earth, tar, and a little star anise and pepper on the long finish. Drinking beautifully now.

Rich bouquet of black fruit, plum with some smokiness and liquorice. These aromas also tasted on the palate. The acidity was slightly more prominent than I remember from before and I feel the 2007 needs drinking now. This is a superb wine though, which I happily shared a bottle of during the evening and it tasted just as good at the end of the evening as it did to begin with despite food with strong flavours. This wine has never failed to impress.
