Actually harvested on the same date as the 03.There’s a little more aromatic density if not a more obvious ripeness than the 08, eventually some precise dark berries. This is concentrated and fresh, not obviously of the vintage. A real success.

High tones of flowers and herbs with a width of understated red and black fruit. Plenty of structure underpinned with plenty of ripe fruit – that tannin seems ripe too. A good burst of interest in the mid-palate and a long finish. Tasty stuff!

Deep colour. There’s a width and density of a dark fruit, a melange of dark fruit plus a little barrel spice – super. Lots of action and great fruit. Plenty of ripe tannin. This will require cellar time, but it is lovely!
