Expectations were modest, so the fact that it was drinkable was a surprise. Clean nose but faint. On the palate it had an indistinct, earthy flavour, like an aging vin ordinaire. Still drinkable but not much more.

Notes of cherry candy on the nose, definitely rich fruit and cherry on the finish. This '05 mellowed out perfectly - drank after an hour in the decanter. Time to drink now if anyone has any left.

Disappointing. It had a musty note which dominated. It was decanted for at least two hours, which helped mellow the must and tannins, and allowed the fruit to at least be tasted. Med. bodied, med. finish...okay but not worth the money.
