"The nose is very closed at the moment – in fact the 2006 seems more attractive on first acquaintance. Very tight and introverted. The palate is medium-bodied, good acidity, surly and backwards with thick chewy tannins. Blackberry, tar, graphite and briary leading to an assertive, tannic finish. Unresolved on the finish, coats the mouth though with great persistency. There are faint hints of wild mint and even soy on the aftertaste. Leave this alone for 8-10 years as you will be rewarded. Drink 2015-2030.” (09/2008)
