  Cork broke in half. Filtered and poured in decanter. Dark ruby. Barely any signs of age at the edges. Deep and rich aromas red fruit and spice, tiny bit of alcohol. Wine has a youthful vigor. Tannins are mellowed and integrated but present and add to complexity. Acidity is balanced and refreshing. Fruit is deep. Medium intensity and duration of finish. Overall very impressive! Better than the wines I had yesterday at Easter (05 Bordeaux showings it’s stuff today!)

  Regretting not to have bought more, reaching the bottom of my case. Beautifully matured and confirming the relevance of the so-called Bordeaux satellites, offering excellent value. Elegant, well structured around mature red fruit, licorice, cedar, plum and cigar box. Drink now and over the coming 2-3 years.

  Nice little Bordeaux. A little bitter note on the finish which later disappeared. Moderate fruit left Nicely drinking.
