We should drink more mid range claret. Label says 14% abv but it wears it lightly - definitely some plumpness in the mouth, but a herbaceousness too. A lovely nose - some gentle oak, some black fruits perhaps. Over time the heat and alcohol do start to become apparent - but this was jolly decent stuff, and half a bottle over an evening would be just the thing.

delicious; excellent drinking right now; some slightly dry tannins which may resolve with a few more years, but no complaints and went very well with roast lamb.

Big! Very floral bouquet on the nose on first opening- lovely ruby colour. Bruised plum and berry fruit, integrated oak soft vanilla slight funkiness. Not my normal drop but enjoyable Merlot dominated Bordeaux.

Classic, old-world claret, complex and earthy on the nose and palate, and now fully mature. Fruit, oak, and terroir fully integrated. I love this stuff.

I love this stuff, now at the peak of its development. Textbook old-world claret. Yes, you could wish for more of everything, but this is not Latour.
