Caroline's bash (Windsor): This was very well matched with the Blass. Mulberry fruit and white pepper with a slightly more velvety mouthfeel compared to the Blass's surprsingly silky feel. Restrained and elegant, this is never going to be showy but it oozes confidence and class for a Minervois. ***

Restrained and elegant. Raspberry, mulberry and white pepper. Poised and elegant, focused and nice lifting acidity on the finish. Very refined and sleek. ***

Deep red still. Decanted and started to open up after a couple of hours. Lovely mulberry nose, good fruit and nice textre. Still quite tight and elegant. Good poise. Plenty of time. Good in a nicely elegant, understated way. ***

Deep red, almost still purple tinged. Meaty nose with hints of iron. Follows through to palate with good fruit and acidity, soft tanins. Lovely accompagnent to steak bearnaise. Reasonable complexity and length. Excellent for what it is and plenty of time ahead of it yet.

Not really noted, but seemed fine. Syrah notes.
