Aromatically there has been evolution towards more earthy and savoury notes. There are even hints of forest floor lurking in the background! On the palate there is a great core which is rich and chewy. The shear fruit density and grainy tannins would suggest a good future. This wine’s personality and complexity will reward those connoisseurs amongst us.

Stylish and very intense, with outstanding concentration to an impressive array of pomegranate, spice, soya and stone flavors. Cedary oak and firm, fine-grained tannins underscore the finish. Drink now through 2011. Daniel Sogg April 30, 2007 Wine Spectator , USA, 91 points
