PNP and have to say it stayed hard and not that pleasant throughout dinner. Not terrible, but just not the wine I have experienced many times previously and not really what I'd expect given vintage. got better 2 nights later and really tasty...friends shared the 1/2 bottle and we all wanted more

this bottle was quite nice, unlike some of the bottles with dried corks. Well balanced with nice fruit but modest earthy flavors. A little tannic but not to much. Really good but more time won't make it better

Violets, mint, chocolate, truffle, crushed rocks and roasted cherries pop as soon as the wine hits the glass. On the palate, lush, warm plums, cherries, cocoa spice, with a buttery texture and a finish loaded with Indian spices, cocoa powder and roasted red and dark red fruits. Fully mature, no decanting needed, just pop, pour and enjoy. Drink from 2023-2030.

Surprisingly elegant for such a hot vintage, lovely dark fruit, currants, blackberry, hints of tobacco and leather, integrated tannins, long finish
