This wine was purchased en primeur through the UK importer Corney & Barrow and delivered to the owner in 2009 since when it has been stored in a temperature controlled wine fridge. Copies of the original delivery note are available on request.

'This remains quite deeply colored with a still largely primary nose of ripe dark berry pinot fruit, plenty of spice and a hint of sandalwood. There is gorgeous complexity to the still moderately firm, intense and relatively powerful flavors that display striking complexity on the solidly structured but not hard finish that delivers outstanding length. This is turning out to be better than I originally foresaw and I have upgraded my score accordingly. As to drinkability, for my taste this has just now arrived at its peak though it should be capable of holding here for many years to come.' Allen Meadows - Burghound, 2015
