Comparing to older vintages tasted in the past this vintage seems to be less complex, although the wine is still quite still young. 08 vintage was tasted this year and still had time to go and 05 last year in perfect bottle maturity. What is true the cork is no longer from the single piece cork, rather agglomerated cork.
