There is still a hint of crimson to the medium ruby colour. I like the nose. It's ripe, with scents of dried fruit coming from the merlot, yet it is the cabernet which speaks more loudly with stalky, cut green capsicum and a suggestion of olive. This may sound like the cabernet not being fully ripe when picked, but in no sense did the palate show any green flavours or tannins. Medium plus body, with good depth and grip from the St. Julien fruit, plus decent length. This 2nd wine from such a large estate was an easy very good plus and, if it has been cellared properly, should give pleasure over the next five years.

Last bottle of a lot. After previous bottle I decided to finish this wine asap, but this bottle was more “young” in appearance again and fitted wonderfully with a lamb stew. Nice bouquet in the nose and on the palate. The table found the finish a bit short. But overall very nice!

I agree with previous taster, this is best to be drunk up in the near future. Fully mature, bit of fruit on the palate and a smooth and sweet finish. Nice!

picked up at a supermarket on the outskirts of Amsterdam. Surprisingly impressed with this, nice fruit, very fresh, with some earthiness. Would get more, drinks above its price point

Solid if uninspiring Bordeaux. A bit on the lighter side.
