cherry stone, violet, forest fruit and crême de cassis on the nose, already showing development.mellow attack and mouthfeel, tense and vibrant mid palate with intense red fruit aromas laced with forest fruits. soft and silky tannins balanced with high acidity and fruit concentration, has many years ageing potential still. long finish on cherry flavours.

Great expression of earthy minerality over fruit, silky and a pleasure to drink though doubtful it will improve much

Was a great contrast. Loved the 2005.....the 1999 was a bit green.

Funky reduction up front. Give it some time in the glass and when you come back, you'll find something special
