'Textbook vintage. No frost. Flowering was perfect. It rained when it should have. Temperature was perfect. We’re advised to save 2004 and drink 2005 first. Dark purplish crimson. Actually this smells more obviously ripe and opulent than the 2005, perhaps because of its seductive and already complex undertow. Beautiful completeness. So beautifully balanced that it is already alluring, even if it refines and dries a bit on the finish. Really stunning - explosive! Mineral finish. 19.5/20' Jancis Robinson MW, 2012
