  Nice wine. Ready now but will last for some time. Will hold my last bottle for another 5-8 years to see if it improves.

  This is a lovely wine. Rich and smooth full of flavoursome richness of oak vanilla and chocolate. Smooth smooth smooth.

  Pronounced aromas, with a mineral component to the nose that adds some excitement. Dark cherry aromas, concentration, ripe med/- tannin. Has an elegant cocoa note to the palate. A whisper of VA, but acts as a accent, not a distraction.

  drunk over lunch hence short note but love the freshness. Seems so much more joyous and graceful than previous vintages I have had.
