The 2006. I’d say this is at peak now. Beautiful.

Fresh, bright red fruit. Tart, with acid and structure. Very good

Tasted this from an overnight bottle. Still full of black fruit aromas and flavours with a good structure and long finish. Seemed to detect an interesting bitter after taste lingering.

A little pruned and dried fruit on the nose. Tobacco and some good dark fruit notes but the mid palate is a little broken up. Ok finish. I think this may have been more enjoyable a few years ago when the young fruit wedded it together better
