rather wonderful after decanting and improved two days after opening...at first somewhat sharpe and acidic but then developed complex secondary flavours. Patience required!

Much more advanced than the 07 and 08, this shows a lot of softer plum and chocolate notes with a touch of green leaf. Nice balance, but it really needed a bit more grip for my palate. Decent enough and this has aged well. Probably on the down slope now. No rush to drink though.

Shame. Corked. There's quite a lot of ripe, meaty fruit under there, but you can't get away from the musty cardboard note.
