I must admit I was deeply disappointed with this bottle because I had loved the 2004. I don’t know if it really was the year, the situation, the meal chosen or my taste buds, but it was a far less pleasant re-visit. The wine was not bad of course, but it was much more overwhelming and ‘hot’ than I remember. It really seemed not to be able to stand alone and the predominant memory in my mind after each taste was “jammy Australian” – which of course it is not. I hope it was a bad set of events and that the next of my 4 or 5 bottles (I liked it last time darn it – so I bought several) will not disappoint

I said I was willing to try it again to make sure and I did (well I had 5 bottles so not to try again was just dumb!) I am glad I did, because this time I decanted it early and had it with a piece of good beef done rare. MUCH better. The fruit and the earth came out clearer and we finished it so there was not that “what if it sits a while” question. I will be interested to try it again even later in it’s life.
