Black cherries, a bit of herbs, olives, subtle oak, somewhat restrained in usual bordeaux fashion, nicely balanced with medium acid, light-medium body. Not one for the long term I think, quite ready now and probably for the next two years. Very good QPR at under €13.

Always a favourite, and even in the 'off' vintage it was a wonderful bottle of Bordeaux - Dark, medium/full bodied with a nose of plum, blackfruit, cigar box, tobacco and vanilla, nicely structured, good balance, intensity and complexity, sweet, yet dusty on the palate with very good length, excellent! (90 Points).

Drank alongside the superior 2009. See the other notes, this is very ready, I think it's time to drink this up before the fruit fades away. 88-89.
