Tasting note

Still very deep crimson. Nuanced, gentle nose with just masses of tertiary aroma. Quite a seam of ripe, slightly angular fruit – not as much fun on the palate as on the nose. The acidity seems a little prominent. I feel the 2009 will develop into something more complete and subtle than this.

Score: 17
