Drunk a case so far and another in store. Young Vines I guess as it lacks intencity but has character charm and balance, with a good few years to go by my reckoning. A two hours decant improves it. Some corks are breaking two thirds down the neck, which is a bore. Great value.

Mocca on the nose and on the somewhat astrigent palate. Its clean and balanced but the thinness of the vintage shows through in the lack of aftertaste. Tannins retreat after a couple of hours, however it's still a bit too sour for my taste.

From a well stored case. Good cork. Nose is promising but for my taste the wine, whilst very correct, is rather stern for a 2009 with has dusty tannin of which I'm no fan. Second day no change.
