Good nose typical of a good classed growth - leather, cedar, tobacco. But a huge disappointment on tasting - no length, lacking any real power and does not do justice to the nose. I have one bottle remaining which I may as well hold for a year or two to see if the bottle I drank now was in transition (I doubt it). If it doesn't improve, nothing has been lost.

Price €11. Very easy drinking style - fruity and fresh with only a hint of minerality. Probably best to drink without food as the fruity style (while in no way over the top) won't suit most food. Very pleasant, undemanding wine.
