Tasting Notes

Mid crimson. Almost animal/gamey ripeness on the nose. Attractive freshness on the front palate. Not the fullest 2005 but certainly very nicely balanced and refreshing. Some might reproach it for being a little skinny while classicists might enjoy it. Drink 2013-2018

16.5

Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, December 2007

Fine perfume, becoming more meaty. Really moreish, dry and quite firm. Perhaps a little more structure than fruit. Drink 2014-2018
