Almost opaque in colour, the bouquet has a bewitching sense of presicion and mineralite that surpasses even the 2005. It is a nose that seems to “sparkle” if I can describe it as such. Blackberry, graphite and crushed stone…something subterranean. The palate is still full of tension and poise, edgy acidity, incredible weight and again, mineralite. The wine has a stupendous backbone, a show-stopping crescendo towards the finish and yet you know this is just a child prodigy tuning up at the piano. The symphony comes later. Drink 2015-2050+
