Wednesday, March 28, 2012 - Rob's Leaving for Jakarta Lunch (Hawksmoor, Guildhall, London): Not the same intensity and purity of fruit on the nose as the previous two wines, with bilberry fruit, earth and hints of game and the farm. This is full bodied, but only of medium depth on the palate, with meaty bilberry fruit on the mid-palate giving way to some still quite firm tannins on the medium/good length finish. However it retains sufficient acidity to be reasonably balanced overall. Interesting and pretty good, but patently lacking the depth and class of the previous two wines. As per my last note lacks the depth of fruit for the very long-term. Now to 2015ish.
