Brick in color with a ruby rim. Nose; Red and dark berries, spiced aroma from French oak, leather dust. Full palette, medium body, acidic finish. Tannins are still firm making a little dry. Cherries, black berries leather.

Having tried this wine when a dear friend brought two bottles round for a dinner, I was batting at about a mid-80 score...HOWEVER, this remaining bottle, some six-odd years later, was simply delicious! Long flavours and not a hint of dryness - NOW is the time to be supping this delicate 09. Cheers....

These are ready to drink now, always good after a year or two extra cellar-time..good everyday quaffer, preferably with steak frites somewhere in Southern France...

Very well developed now. Probably a few more years in it.
