Well worth the wait, opening the 2005 after 15 patient years in the cellar. Dense red, almost purple, with no hint of browning on the edges. Mint chocolate on the nose, and a hint of licorice, which is also evident on the palate. Superbly in balance in the mouth, the oak still there providing sweet notes, and rich doris plum flavours. Great palate length.
