Tasting Notes

Very similar colour to the 06, maybe a little darker, more garnet. Smells more youthful just as it looks more youthful. Smoky sweet red cherry. Fragrant and delicately spiced, but less expressive than the 06. Touch of spicy oak and oak sweetness. Amazing to have so much depth and richness and velvet but within a more direct and structured and yet really dense and powerul wine. Definitely more held back than the 06 at the moment though there is that fine sweetness underneath. More of a powerhouse than the 06 and the oak seems to show more. 2015-2035
