Dark fruit layers, at its peak (2007 drunk in 2022). Fine tannins. Dark plums, blackberries, chocolate, yet quite fresh. Too high a price

This was my last bottle of the 2005. My previous bottle was enjoyed over four years ago and in that time, quite a bit of secondary characteristics have entered into the picture. Popped and poured; consumed over three hours. Visually, it remains much the same. On the nose it's olives, leather, dark fruit and earth...in that order. On the palate, there is a mix of dark and red fruits with some earth but it's a bit hollow in the middle and there seems to be something missing in the finish. It's not clipped...it's not short...it's just kinda...meh. All of that being said, it remains a wine of obvious quality. I suspect the young-ish nature of the vineyard probably means the best was in this bottle's youth. Still good but drink now if you have them.

Opague color, intensive and concentrated earthy, leathery, ripe & plummy dark fruit nose. Complex, ripe, jammy dark fruit with excellent new oak integration, ripe intensive tannins, well supporting acidity, dried herbs and spices. Even though 15% alcohol, excellent balance. 91p

Earthy and dark. Second time I’ve had this and been impressed. Got a mask like Zorro.
