Nose: red fruits, spices, earthy, hawthorn berry, puer tea Notes: this MM CV 2004 showed fantastic and cohesive aromas. The wine was elegant and on top of the seductive red fruits it also showed earthy notes together with a bit of pu-er tea and earthy aroma. Having this combination is indeed not so easy but I feel this wine was quite balanced and is drinking quite nicely now. Drink: now - 2030 Rating: 91

A little timid and closed at first, improved dramatically with aeration. Nose is elegant, palate is a little rustic, some adstringency that results in a slightly compressed finish. Perhaps in need of additional bottle time.

Surprisingly open and accessible showing some floral and ash notes on the nose along with beef stock and soy. It is sweet and rich in the mouth with nice concentration of flavour and snappy acidity on the back-end.
