Very dark brooding wine, lots of deep bramble up front, good structure and smooth finish. Very tight on opening the bottle, needs decanting and at least 2-3 hrs to breath before drinking.

2010 vintage. Big and ripe on the palate. Initial flavor a is dark fruit and chocolate, but through the finish turns a little more red with some tart drying notes. While hedonistic and delicious, this didn't yet show the added complexity that would make it truly exceptional...
