  Out of double magnum:
  Still pretty youthful in terms of appearance.
  
  Toast, cassis, blackberry, graphite, hints of raspberry and something richly fragrant beneath - almost like incense. Not sweet but mature and restrained - very pleasurable.
  
  The palate is classic claret, there is a coolness and lift. Resolved tannins give a lightly creamy quality - certainly not overtly savoury. Medium bodied, some spice and earth. Roundly appreciated, exceeded expectations, drank very well with and without food.

  Some age has smoothed it out - still very dark, but w mahogany highlights - nice tobacco nose, really nice Bordeaux palate, tobacco, cedar, this punches well above its weight, and was a great buy, thanks Decanter! I have had grander Bordeaux from better vintages that have not yielded as much pleasure - v nice.

  Drying out but still very enjoyable. Good example of how a lowly Cru Bourgeois take a bit of age, but drink soon if you have any left. Leathery notes on nose, strong plum on initial palate,fades to drier finish After about 10 secs.

  Deep colour, attractive blackcurrant and slightly herby/grassy nose, soft integrated tannins against fruit with a little length but not complex. At Cru Bourgeois level this scores 18/20, but set against the pinnacle of winemaking say 13/20 - a well made wine with no outstanding features (WoFW), but very enjoyable and good value.

  Nice dark fruit, medium body, tannins well integrated, rather short finnish, about avg for the price. Saved half for 2nd day.
