Really lovely once it opened up. Initially very quiet with some fruit and almost a slight fizz. After about 5 hours turned to leather and tobacco and cherries and violets. Good length. Wish I had another — would save it another 5 years.

Nice nose with rather dark fruits, floral and a light savory note. More red fruits on the palate, some grenadine and tobacco. Overall a lot of fruit and somehow a little forward as I think the character of the vintage is quite present. Still enjoyable but I prefer the '08.

Took 3 hours or so to get going but was great once it did. No formal note but would recommend further aging or a very long decant. Really enjoyed it.
