Disappointing. Cork ok. Very intense dark colour, initial bouquet carries good fruit but an undefinable unpleasant odour (cork taint?). The wine is heavy, leafy (as suggested by James Halliday), strong liquorice and spices.

Outstanding fruit, well balanced by robust but not overpowering tannins. Showing great promise.

James Halliday rating 90 tasted 05, but my tasting June 09 showed further development. Slightly soft in style but delicious.
