Pretty solid. It definitely kept me coming back for more. It has been a while since a big Cab Sauv has made my taste buds perk up. — 11 years ago

Another wine courtesy of my Dad as a birthday gift when I was a child. It's not far from going over the hill, but it was hanging on. Dried strawberry and dried cherry, subtle leather, acidity was almost too high, but not unpleasant. Overall enjoyable but I certainly did not enjoy it in its prime, unfortunately. — 10 years ago

2007 vintage in magnum. Medium garnet. Quite pronounced nose. Red fruits on opening - sour cherry and plums. Graphite smells from the oak, hints of savoury cardamom spices. Definite farmyard, meaty development. There's a menthol, medicinal note. On the palate, the wine has high acidity, medium plus body, medium tannins are silky and fine grained. Alcohol is medium and totally integrated. Gorgeous fresh red plum, tobacco and savoury meats. Sweet fruit finish which is persistent. This is still a relative youngster and though there's a lot going on, the complexity is yet to fully develop. Needs five more years plus. Nonetheless, the wine is extremely fine and elegant. Not a big beast but clearly has a lot of power. Lovely. — 10 years ago
