Breathed an hour in two glasses. Deep black core with a red rim. The nose is mix of black currant, tobacco & mocha. Big & full bodied. This is great Cab/Merlot blend. All the brooding, textured classic Bordeaux elements are there, but softened beautifully with the red fruited, easy elements of the Merlot. Plenty of tannic structure still intact here. This had a fantastic bitter chocolate finish.

Fully mature now, nice classic flavours. Nice medium weight St Julien.

Veldig ok vin. Pen og pyntelig, bra struktur. Fruktdrevet, men begynner å bli sekundær. Blir nok neppe bedre.

Really mature and nice. Lots of different taste notions. Fairly long after taste. ( will probably not get better over time)

Fully mature bordeaux at a nice price. Dark berries, hint of wood and pencil shaving. Not very complex, but harmonious and round, with soft tannins
