  Really lovely wine . Strong notes of mushroom, earth, with hints of eucalyptus. This got better over an hour, so there is still some life here. But not sure it will improve, though it may become more subtle with time.

  I have a doubt that this bottle was corked. the nose is evolved, not clean, but not bad either, earth, mushrooms, a bit of (fading) cherry notes, spices. The palate is better than the nose, medium body, fully integrated tanins, fresh and good length. based on this bottle, I would advise not to hold on to yours for too long.

  Very fine, fresh fruit here; the wine is clean and very well balanced, quite layered - European style, but lush and ripe. Will live - on of the best of the line-up #no2

  Even, fairly mature light red with no youth.
  Cherry and stewed strawberry nose with some sous bois and a hint of beetroot.
  Light, fairly fresh attack. Very attractive palate with good, very integrated red fruit, some woody spice. Gentle tannins. Excellent balance. Notable length.

  One of the anniversary bottles, shipped to Jeremy. Beautiful ruby color, medium bodied. Cork looked perfect, but crumbled. Raspberries, smoke, bacon on the nose. Refined, Burgundian palate. Savory, not sweet. Paired with steak. Compared v favorably against 2005 from same anniversary case.
