  Hawker night at Caroline's: A little disappointed by this for a vaunted maker and vintage, thought this was a southern Rhone. Dense and powerful dark red fruit, had an oak signature of a modern maker with some coffee and mocha notes.

  Hugely smoky nose of bacon fat and woodsmoke. Brambly and blackberry fruit - insanely rich and intense but, paradoxically, light and dancing. How can you be big and light at the same time? Like a great dancer? Like Nureyev or Baryshnikov. Light but strong; leaping and lithe but deeply structured and firm. Sensational and such a privilege.

  Popped and poured - then tasted over 2 days. Initally very stony and toght, vertical and very elegant indeed, on day 2 virtually unchanged, although gaining a bit of weight. Hanged meat, hints of coffe and chocolate, fine acidity, a perfect bottle of this. This is extraordinay wine. Drinking well, IMHO - but certainly no hurry.

  Fruit driven nose with dark cherries, savory notes, and a bit of a leather note. The tannins were surprisingly refined and soft with more cherry notes and black olives on the palate. Nice finish. Overall, a lovely wine and drinking very well, although I'm not sure how much longer I would keep this; I'd rather enjoy the fruit now than risking for it to fade, because that's what's carrying the wine.
