Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2017-2029, Julia Harding MW, jancisrobinson.com, Jul 2017
Hard to believe this is 2009 as there is still so much peppery dark fruit on the nose. Oak still evident on the palate in sweet spice but the depth of fruit is there to avoid oak overload. Savoury and meaty on the palate and still so lively and youthful. Great harmony of fruit and structure, the tannins still firm but becoming supple.(JH)
