  Last UK bottle - popped and poured - v attractive from the off - rich plum / blackberry fruit with cinnamon nutmeg, long palate with complexity, ends well. Good value and at its peak I think.

  Part bottle by Coravin.
  
  With haggis for Burns Night.
  
  Similar to before, lovely balance here between the elements. Alcohol not too evident, fruit, acidity and tannins all in harmony. Right in the drinking window.
  
  EDIT : Finished the bottle the following week. Coravin has adverse impact by stirring the very fine tannins I think. Let it settle. Not as good as first half. Flat, less fruit, less interest and intensity.

  This is sensational CdP. From opening- blackberries, liquorice and garrigue on the nose continuing and wrapping a rich but balanced interesting palate, good length, balance and finish with some grip. Perfect and what a bargain compared to more famous CdPs.Wow - 92 is almost underscoring it and for wines at £25/$30 I should go for 95/6.
