A mere disappointment!!!! Colour okay & with some youth left. Nose so & so red fruit - not very refined, a little wood - that's it! On the palate on the verge of leaving this world; simple in structure, not much on it, overpriced & simply boring - sorry!

Deep-dark red in colour, showing density still; Barnyard smell: animalistic pleasures, rusty nails, blood & leather; nettles, heated cherries & hints of liquorice; a complex but not too pleasing nose on this one! Mouthful of wine; lots of tannins left, a bully of that barnyard called 'Saint-Estephe'; fat & undeveloped Bordeaux; bitter, unfriendly & wild in its expressions; drink now or try later in several years!

Good colour, a little bricking on the rim; Ghostly nose, faded red fruits (cherry & cassis); not much to offer, dried leaves, anise & some mushroom too; Very light, soft texture, thin midpalate; fragile, overaged & simple in structure, almost no finish; should have been drunk 2-5 years ago.
