Seems to have more savoury earthy character than the previous vintage. It's remarkably soft and supple on the palate while the flavour is intense and quite concentrated. Really Well integrated. 89/100
Ray Jordan's Guide to Wine 2006/07
Relatively light colour; light to medium bodied, with spicy/leafy/savoury components along with some black fruits. Rating 87/100
