In 2009, and from double magnum, this is very good 'now' drinking. The very spicy nose leads to lovely aromatic cocoa on the palate. It finishes with delicacy - filigree Lafite. Our own bottles at home are also showing very well, with some fat to match the spiciness. In 2011, vanillin, spicy and mature. Length, elegance and freshness on the palate. Serena Sutcliffe, MW
