Score 15.5/20 · Drink 2008-2012, Jancis Robinson MW, Sep 2010
Deep crimson with development at the rim. Big rhubarby fruit. Big and bold and awfully unsubtle. Chewy and fossilised. Pretty tough and rustic. Difficult to see how this will become a swan. Very chewy. (JR)

Saturated ruby-red. Big, ripe nose of bitter chocolate, black raspberry, resiny oak and a whiff of raisin. Very rich, sweet and thick but rather dumb today and lacking nuance. Suggestions of espresso and dark chocolate. Firm acids and substantial tannins give this a fairly sizable structure. Best today on the long finish.
