I thought I'd bought the 2009, but apparently my eyesight is worse than I thought.
This wine is a real chameleon at the moment.
I opened it to decant 4 hours before dinner and had a taste. It was quite green, acidic and pretty uninteresting at that time.
Dinner was started late, so we didn't get to it for 5 hours, and wow did it change in that time. The initial bite had dropped a lot and was now showing minty spices, slightly tart cherries and leather with a peppermint finish.
A great food wine for sure with it's zingy flavours, though we did try it both with and without. I'd love to try this again in 10 years.
