February 14, 2013 - Beautiful dark fruits, hint of mint and chocolate. Palate is slightly dusty, smooth well integrated tannins. Lingering finish. Colour still bright and it has a few years before it heads downhill.

April 15, 2012 - Dark, dense, and 14.5%. But on the palate beautifully poised. Wish I could offer more detailed descriptions, but I foolishly opened this after one white and three red 2001s, between four of us, so my notes are rather patchy...

September 9, 2006 - This has thinned out and lost its appeal. Colour is starting to show some age but there was little nose and the palate was thin with a sort of split structure. Shame.

February 9, 2006 - Almost inky purple. The nose shows great promise. Dark fruit, spice, mocha on the palate, nice thirty second finish. Wine will improve with a few more years in bottle.
