March 12, 2009 - Caroline's bash (Windsor): Starting to show signs of softening and tending towards the garnet. Soft and gently spicey nose, showing some development. Ripe fruit, softly spicey, tannins have mellowed and it finishes quite positively. Essentially a little bland though. I preferred this to the youthful 05 but obviously this is a stylistic rather than qualitative difference. **1/2.

October 7, 2006 - Very full, dense ruby. Reasonable nose of fairly pure fruit. Still quite chewy but without the full whack of primary fruit - has certainly softened, but maybe needs a little longer for the tannins to soften. Ok wth food though, becoming a little more acidic on the finish after a couple of hours. Correct but unexciting. Possibly a little closed?
