d'Arenberg with Chester Osborn (Strand Cellars, Croydon): Medium plus intensity aromas of plums, with a little sour red berry underpin, a touch of meatiness and leather, spiced; a little black pepper. medium plus intensity acidity, plentiful tannins are floury textured. Fruit more concentrated and a lick of alcohol heat on the back palate, a little spice here as well. Meh.

Crisp fruit, pleasant, does not have the complexity of earlier vintages to me

Directly compared to '05, this was not as good, but enjoyable, no fruit notes as distinct and the older wine.

This is still a great wine. Still has time to go before it is past it’s peak.

Blackraspberry, burnt rubber nose, blew off, medium fine tannins, decent wine but I had remembered a better wine.
