Like many 05’s nice fruit needs plenty of air or tannins can seem a bit harsh, poured 2 glasses from Corivan. Will update this week on remainder of bottle.

Always a good solid wine, this has been in its peak drinking window for the last decade, and it is probably best to be looking to consume this over the next 3 years. Taste profile is as per previous note.

This has aged well! Fleshy, balanced, perfectly sweet, its just a well rounded lovely wine. Glad to see that this has burned off the heavy oak and char from my first contact with it years ago...Only complaint is that it is a bit plummy and fleshy. I dont think its going to hold much longer. I say Drink!

This bottle seemed to show a bit less modern than prior bottles, which showed very Bordeaux but quite polished and a little big. This bottle showed fruit that didn't dominate , some more mature notes and tannins that were present but not dominant.
