Sadly my last bottle as it was absolutely brilliant drinking.
Decanted maybe an hour as there was a minimal amount of sediment. Classic aged Bordeaux on the nose, with cassis, wet leaves and leather reflecting the tertiary aspects. Having said that, there was still plenty of fruit left - this is in perfect balance for drinking!
Nose slightly better than palate but that was nit-picking.

Bloody lovely!
Very young. Obviously pinot dominant but still lithe and elegant.

Opened to celebrate the end of a long couple of weeks.
The fifth of the case and I wish I had another as these seem to be improving! Deep golden colour and extraordinary nose with so much going on. Slight sherry note, marzipan, yeast and tropical fruits. Lovely little bubbles and long length. Genuinely outstanding wine.
