I bought this in Jan 2014 when i first started collecting wine. So nice to visit 7 years later after I shipped in from HK. Surprisingly secondary on the nose. Beautifully integrated tannins and absolutely classic bordeaux. This has aged quickly, but I guarantee, served this to anyone blind, and they would guess 90s bordeaux! I really enjoyed this, and for the price... Wow.

1/2, excellent cork. Decanted 1/2 hour, initially served at 14C. Deep ruby core, narrow pale ruby rim - youthful. Reticent on nose at first (quite cool), then red fruit, gravel, spice. Medium bodied, spicy red fruit, earth, touch of mineral, nice bright acids, good length, earthy, gravelly finish, a touch sandy on the tail. Decent enough.

Still dark ruby. Good fruit, cherry, plum and touch of blackcurrant. Some earth, tobacco, iodine in the background. Good acidity. Still some grippy tannins. Middle weight but good.

Fine ruby. Still very alive and fruity. Dark fruits, including plum. Fine middleweight claret, good value.
