<p><b>92 points</b> - Takes about an hour in the decanter to open up. Strong bacon bouquet. Fully developed as far as I'm concerned. Earthy. Drinks nicely, although not perfectly balanced. Much better on day two! So this needs some more time, or a lot of time to air. Lovely mint and dusty notes. Now quite balanced. Good structure. Score went up from 89. Tobacco. Very classy!</p><p>Tasted on Fri, Apr 29, 2011.</p>

<p><b>93 points</b> - Nose of black pepper, spicy, savoury and meaty. Unfiltered, the palate is spicy and shows some cassis and forward acidity. Very earthy, a long finish, good intensity and drive. Rounds out after breathing. Improved on the second day.</p><p>Tasted on Thu, Apr 28, 2011.</p>

<p><b>88 points</b> - Blackberry underpinned by wood on the nose. Spice, strong tannins and bitterness. A dark wine! Dark chocolate notes. Has potential to develop. Good intensity. I quite enjoy it. Alas - elegant it is naught.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Mar 24, 2010.</p>

<p><b>88 points</b> - Blueberry with a touch of acidic lift on the nose. Dark red. Palate is intense and quite fruity - a bit bakery-biscuity, with vanilla and earth notes. It is quite a soft and plush wine - perhaps lacking structure. Some chewy tannins in the back. 3rd day open: developed some bacony, orange rind, spiced cigar box characters. Still a bit juvenile tasting - youthful sweet and sourish notes with a bitterness which is kept just in check. Still quite a softly structured wine.</p><p>Tasted on Wed, Mar 24, 2010.</p>
