my time in the trade; meet characters, most you forget, some you remember. You embrace experience. And you learn. If I've learnt anything it's that wine should always be consumed from magnums, and that correct storage means everything. Literally everything. This wine, whilst mature offers spice and leather laced fruit, intertwined and rich, full bodied but not heavy. What a wine: and I guess that most consumers popped too soon. Drink soon but if you have well cellared stock no rush

2004, a massively underrated vintage due to its proximity to the so-called legends of 05 and generosity of 03. Truth is 04 was the driest vintage since 1964, and the wine are concentrated but not mouth-filling. Last of the old school style. They aren't easy to love. Like a weird crush, you have to appreciate the style. And so you should. Layers and layers without the obvious. A wine for those who like to think

I can safely say having looked at others notes, this vintage has come on leaps and bounds! Rich, rounded, nutty, fat, but not clumsy. Great wine and just coming into its own. Don't Agree with people thinking AA drinks well young, it doesn't. Three years bottle age and then judge it.
