Dark cherry, bramble, lots of forest floor and mushrooms, hints of leather, tobacco and musk. Beautiful wine. Could have more concentration and length. Drinking well now.

Floral, berry nose. Deep red colour. Really starting to evolve at nine years - still fruit driven, with red and dark berries, plums - but also earth, leather and just a hint of game meat starting to come through. Good density of fruit, fine tannins and medium plus length. Honestly probably needs a few more years yet to soften up, gain complexity and become more expressive, but still very enjoyable right now.

(Blind tasting) Deep, full and complex nose. Plum, pine cone, spice, flowers, oak and curry. Medium-fullish palate that is quite generous. Raspberry, sweet cherry, gently oaky and pine cone. Perfume is pure. But the finish is a bit short and tart. A Burg that was clearly more impressive on nose than the palate. The tartness may be due to the vintage.
