97 points, Georgina Hindle, Decanter.com – “Not so expressive on the nose right now; dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco nuances, some savoury edges with a touch of iodine. Balanced, calm, gentle, quiet, powerful no doubt but not shouting like the 2005 is right now. Smooth, supple, excellent tannins really integrated and supportive giving a wide but soft feel. So delicious, crunchy, ripe, chalky, salty, so much beautiful power and perseverance here. I love this, not trying too hard, effortless almost. Really incredible wine and stands out for its balance and harmony and just giving so much together
