In a difficult vintage the tannins have disappeared and the pedigree of this wine exudes black silk, dark and red fruits. It has a lovely right bank nose. I think this is in a very good place now and represents excellent value for money.

New Year's party at Mel's, decanted 1h before arriving. This bottle was sadly a little past its prime, faint nose but expressive barnyard and fruit on the palate. Earthy and round. Appreciated by all but for my taste more fruit would have been better. I think this wine is fading away. One bottle left in my cellar, need to drink it soon!

Cherries, fruit, raspberry, tart finish. Really nice wine for party. The wine no longer has noticeable tannins and will thus probably not develop further. Three and a half stars out of five.

Served with fresh venison tenderloin. Absolutely on point, silky smooth with dark fruit. Good value and well appreciated by the gang.
