The nose is developing nicely, but 9 years on, the tannins still have plenty of fight in them. A strong decant helps, but I'd love to revisit in another 10 years. I think it will be spectacular then.

Feral but some fruit left. Storage wasn’t ideal for this bottle so it fared pretty well.

Some strange factors at play here. Auspicious start with a great smell but wine had a very short finish and nothing of note in the middle. No fruit to speak of at all! A shame as my kind of wine.

Even after opening up, it just tasted tired, maybe heated, and muted. I love this producer. Underwhelming. #wine

Stunning. Drink now. Worth all the price it tastes like a high level aged Bordeaux in some ways. Highly recommended and would buy again the level of value you get from this is insane.
