  June 20, 2009 - CT London Event (Hide Bar, Bermondsey, London): Performed a touch better than when I had it last year. Very nice nose - dark and smoky, with cigar and pepper notes along with sappy dark cherries and fragrant spice frills. Palate was still a little primary, dominated with sweet, sappy cherries and spice with more of the cigar smoke billowing about. Very modern, plush and smooth, but very nicely balanced. As Pjaines said, this wine is all about plesaure. Finish had good length, closing with a flourish of toasty tobacco and smoke. I think some time would help to round the wine out and give some complexity.
