September 2008

This was only tasted after it had been open 3-4 hours. Riper fruits on the nose but unlike the 1990 with intact minerality and complicating notes of herb, mint, leather and dried date like fruit. Round and lush in the mouth though there is a bit of unripe bitter tannin here that dominates the finish somewhat. In the mouth the fruit has slightly exotic earth and tea components that are intriguing but this doesn't have the balance of the finest vintages. 2008-2015
