The price and quality have dropped a bit in this vintage, after a terrific 2003. Still very good however, with lifted, fragrant spice, cedar, chocolate, herbs and jammy berry fruit. Medium-full, sweet, hottish and tannic. Very good to excellent length. Quite spicy and savoury. Best 2009 to 2012. Vintages Essential.
