  Drink now. What a gift. Everything great about claret rolled into a bottle. Not from a heralded year so one wonders what a great vintage would do. If it weren’t so expensive I’d buy some and see…

  Still drinking well now probably at its peak. Drink up now will not improve with ageing. Pronounced nose intensity with notes of tobacco, charr wood, toast, cooked black fruits, spices, chocolate. Medium acidity and medium tannin. Tannin is integrated.

  Nose of green pepper, petrol, leather, tobacco, think old library. Some tert cherry, nicely integrated tannin and well balanced. Not sure I see this improving but it’s not falling off anytime soon. Drinking very nicely.
