Took about 2 hours to open up. Quite lovely nose, but not overly expressive. Fruit has died away largely, so feel this wine does not have a much longer life ahead. Not spectacular but still very drinkable.

though I put down notes on this third bottle I had drunk. Lovely colour. Dark garnet. The nose does not show its age. Fresh and fruits but without any compelling intensity. On the palate - medium bodied (lightish), good balance. Lacks complexity.

Browning on the edges. Fairly expressive nose. Rustic, truffles and reddish black fruits. Good acids with fruits fading on the palate.

This was a much better bottle. It had more fruits and thus more lucious on the palate.

Nice colour and an appealing nose but fruits seem to be fading in this bottle.
