Wow, wonderfully figgy (reminds me of Vesuvio 1996), some red cherries and a little smack of chalky tanins. Reasonably long on the follow through too. Stunning @ the price.
Not a shut down bottle for me, but I have detected some bottle variation this was the most integrated alcohol on the finish by far (maybe the bottle cleaning was a little zealous!). Happy to pickup some more if there are any available in future

Nearly half gone now, so only about 250 bottles unspoken for!

Yes. Tom's stock is gradually migrating itself to my off-site storage facility
