Strong savoury, tannic. In the fresh greenish style of 2007, which looks set to be a rather classic and probably long-lived vintage. In its day it seemed over priced but it's turned out well and this is another example.
For claret lovers. Others may find it too dry and/or green.

It’s impressive and opulent (but not in just simple sweetness) without weight.
