Tasting notes
Rained 200 mm before harvest. Vintage with no reputation but it is great. High pH because of dilution. Opposite to 2005. Maybe only decadent people like this vintage, says Mitjavile. 'Expressive not impressive.' Lighter and much more bricky than 2005. Much more mushroom here. Spice and gorgeous sweet red fruit. A hint of chocolate and some milk-chocolate oaky sweetness. Smooth and voluptuous. (JH)

Wow, lovely aniseed, mint, vanilla, black cherry, taut tannins and really great length. This is drenched in oak, but has the power to back it up. (RH)
Sweet and a bit soapy on the nose. Rather jagged and painful in terms of the high acid register. Very drying on the finish – not the most authentic. (JR)
