Relatively neutral nose with salinity and some citrus. Then absolutely lovely on the palette with punchy fruit, more citrus, followed by oak and nice mineral finish. Ideal white burg.

Double decanted. This is classic bordeaux with cassis and vanilla on the nose. Palette is rich with plums, some earthiness, nice acidity and smooth tannins that coat the top of your mouth. At around £35 this is pretty good value for a top end bordeaux.

Deep purple colour.
Classic bordeaux nose with cassis and lead pencil dominating.
Perhaps slightly falls down on palette but still very lovely to drink. Nice acidity, tannins smooth.
Ready to drink now, don’t imagine this will improve further.
