Much more like it. Dark but shiny. Lovely nose with hints of meat and strong berries. Full rich flavour with good minerality and the acidity much more in balance than previous bottles. In a good place now

Medium ruby colored with some soft crimson edges. Elegant yet powerful nose with dark fruits, soft truffles and some herbal notes. On the palate ripe cassis, blackberries, some dark coffee and nice graphite notes. In the background soft tertiary notes like dried leather, fresh mushrooms and some tobacco. Full bodied with a medium intense acidity. Silky and round tannins, completely integrated. Beautiful fruit structure, very elegant and classic style. Great overall complexity and an amazing overall balance. The finish is long, dark and elegant. This is in a nice spot now but will hold for at least another +6 years if stored well. Around 60,000 bottles of this vintage were produced. (IG)

Excellent Cabernet blend. Subtle spice from the Carmenere. 100% ready to go.
At £60 IB decent QPR

Drank better after decanting for an hour. Solid prototypical Bordeaux.

Fantastic wine with cherry, tobacco, coffee, beautifully integrated tannins, yet still fresh and vibrant. Thoroughly deserves it's reputation
