"Good, as described in reviews but still a little more fruity than I like. Did not feel there were enough tannins to fully hold up the wine."

"Inky violet. Ripe red and dark berry aromas are deepened by licorice and espresso. Cherry and dark berry flavors show a youthfully tannic character, with a slowly emerging note of floral pastille adding complexity. Less opulent than the Bin 128 but deeper and more concentrated, with powerful creme de cassis and plum compote notes on the long, juicy finish. ~Josh Raynolds - International Wine Cellar"

"Colour - A deepened crimson with a purple core. --
Nose - The nose is complex and beguiling, with notes
of demi-glace and roasting pan juices, beneath
scents of pipe tobacco, vanilla and pencil
shavings oak - much more than just a simple
varietal offering. --
Palate - The palate is full-bodied, refined and taut
showing dark, black conserve fruit flavours
with Satsuma plum notes to the fore. Further
liqueur chocolate and spice flavours are
impregnated by overt, chewy and ripe tannins.
To sum up, the integrated fruit, oak and acid
loudly proclaim harmony and balance. The
2004 vintage conditions were first class and
rank alongside any recent exemplary vintage.
This, the 2004 vintage is a real Bin 28,
showing polish, poise and pedigree. By all
means, drink whenever, but please save some
for the cellar, and the 2010s!"
