Herbs, red cherries, river stones and raspberries; quite exotic. Lots of cherries and raspberries on the palate, with herbs and a lovely savoury edge. Though this said, it is relatively short, and a barren dryness appears all too quickly. Now I’ve had a couple of bottles of this recently, and both were very similar; far too dry, and I really was quite depressed about it because I was expecting something as good as the 2003.

Buy Again? No
Eeeeek! Lucky I didn’t buy very much. Will have to give one of these a kiss under the mistletoe.
Oh dear. Any chance of forgetting it for a decade and it turning good?
cheers

Dunno Carl… my crystal ball is a bit cloudy with this wine…. I have a few bottles left myself and will try again in a few years…. I suppose if the next bottle is not as good as I would like it to be, then it’s off to auction with the rest.
