A quality wine. Reasonably prominent nose, led by mid red fruit. Palate is mid weight, fresh lift, good acidity, present tannins. Relatively dry, the fruit is there, but not prominent. With time in the decanter graphite emerges, more CS typicity. Mid length finish. Excellent w food (Elk entrecote). Nothing that stands out, but whole greater than the sum of the parts.

Dark, ruby red. Balanced and fairly complex nose with dark fruit (black current, plums), leather, cigar box and spicy and a little fiery finish.
On the palate the wine is mediumbodied plus, with a lovely, balancing acidity, soft but structuring tannins and a fair amount of dark fruit. This is a good mouthfilling bordeaux with good length and finish that will hold for several years yet.

Deep ruby red with garnet edges. Layered nose with leather, red cherries, black currants, and gravel. Medium tannins (6/10) and medium plus body. Dark berries on the palate with tobacco, gravel, plums and herbs. Long finish. Drink till 2028.

Deep purple. Austere, solid and dry. Dark cherries, blackberries, plum, tobacco and leather. Medium body, medium acidity and tannins that dry your palate. I would had expected a tiny bit more fruit but still a solid wine. NI:4, FI:22, FC:8, B:3, L:4

Tasted black berry / currant up front and a hint of licorice. Smoothed out with a taste of tobacco. Medium body.
