Much better than expected, in part this was due to perfect storage, truffle, earth, wet forest floor, spicy pipe tobacco and cherries created the perfume. Medium bodied, soft, short and sweet, this is a wine for drinking, not for cellaring.

With MPL at the London Wine Bar. Tasted blind. Medium ruby with an orange edge. Petroleum products in the nose. Barnyard. Ugh!. Awful on the palate as well, with no redeeming qualities. What is this swill? 4-0-0-0: 54/100.

Certainly fading, but beautiful colour. Firmness and elegance, balance and length. On the wane, of course, but still a pleasure to drink.
