Can’t believe how long it took me to have a bottle of this. Worth every bit of the hype. Earth, tobacco, balanced black fruit. Good acid and a lingering, mouthwatering finish. Elegance and power intertwined.

Father’s Day treat with a dry aged porterhouse. A great wine as always, but this bottle was a bit more evolved than previous bottles with a touch of prune.

Same notes as last time. Very sweet finish balanced by leather and acid. Power plus elegance. Drank with lamb ragu with mint and pecorino.

17.5. No age showing. Restrained but lovely nose. Very very smooth and elegant. Good but not outstanding length. Will be interesting to compare with 2006 (just brought in a case - this bottle was a one-off).
