A couple of the most recent wine tasting notes of this wine on CellarTracker:-
"Pop and pour,it doesn't need long to show a lovely nose of sour cherry,truffle,and hints of leather and earth".
"This has mellowed down and is showing beautifully.The palate is soft and elegant,exhibits red fruit,dark cherry and spice along with subtle secondary notes.The tannin is soft and fine with a nice long aftertaste"
(93 Points).
