Two bottles, both excellent. Would have benefitted from longer decant. Structure here to continue developing for many years, like most LdH wines. Sweet berries, dried red fruit, earthy leathery tertiary tones. Smooth mouthfeel, great acidity; clean, long finish. Tasted reserva ‘07, ‘09, ‘10 and ‘11 this month and the 2009 ranks second amongst these for me. (@D’Olier Street).

3+ hours decant. Concentrated blackcurrant, black cherry, cassis with vanilla and graphite. Some floral notes I couldn’t pin down. Few strong tertiary characteristics to date. Tannins a little dense. Long finish. Look forward to tasting again. (@Home).

Lovely Pinot. Fresh, lively palate of cherry and raspberry with medium length finish. Not hugely complex but a fun wine -easy to enjoy. (@Home)
