Much less evolved than the '08 Montrose, much more rich, big, modern.
Still, no big awkwardness that one might expect at age 6, unlike that Talbot from the other night.
This has everything in place to age spectacularly for 40+ years.
It will be a great wine with a long evolution that will drink great at the ages of 10, 15, 20, 30, etc.
Truly worthy of its BWE Wine of the Year status. Mouth-filling but light on its feet.
Rating: 96 points.
