Decanted. Initially very weak on the pallet but with some air this wine transformed itself into a very solid wine for the vintage. The color was spot on with no bricking. It had a nice mouthful of fruit with subdued tannins and acidity. Short to medium finish.

Classic Claret! Pretty red fruit, maybe a tad dry, with some dog fennel, soil. Very nice, the kind of Bordeaux one could drink with every meal. Channeling 1981 a little.

This wine still has plenty of gas left in the tank. It is deep dark fruit and forest floor.
