This is in a beautiful place. Deep, youthful ruby, with a bouquet that exhibits wonderful bottle age and complexity. Black fruit, cassis, and spices toggle with violets, forest floor, wet earth, and toasty caramel aromas. Full bodied and long, savory and sweet, with a silky, smooth mouth feel and complex flavors that seemingly melt in your mouth. Picks up white truffles and sea breeze on the back end, followed by crushed rocks on the finish. Vinous, flowing, and refined. An absolute knockout.

Holding up really well, good acidity and still showing some significant tannins - must be from the oak I would say. Unreal pairing with roasted lamb.

Holding up nicely but I don’t see any advantage to waiting on this one.

Jubby has got it right. Drinking wonderfully now. It bodes well for recent outstanding vintages, which are under Stelvin closure. Buy it all!

Lovely aged brick-red appearance, wonderful savoury aroma, soft spicy, meaty, mouth-filling palate with a sweet finish. Drinking perfectly now. An outstanding wine.
