bought as a bin end by my father in law -passed its best I suggest - a second bottle was slightly flawed with the chocolate prune nose replaced by a mushroom risotto but not wholly unpleasant - the good bottle was good

Not quite as good as the last bottle although the tasting notes are very consistent with my previous notes. Only difference from 6 months ago is I found strong notes of truffels this time overtaking the other notes which I'm sure is hiding at the moment. A very nice wine but something is seriousöly wrong with this case. Every bottle has a cork problem in the sense that it shatters when trying to open it...

Wow. On the nose it is full of raw meat, licorice, herbs, dark chocolate and plums with some notes of vanilla. In the mouth it is dense and really chewy fruit - well balanced with the tannins. A full bodied effort that lingers in the mouth forever.

I decanted this bottle way to early and it kind of died on us with oxidation. A disappointment.

Consisten with my previous notes although I didn't find the truffels so overpowering this time. Same problem with the cork....
