Dark colour. Neutral nose with lighter barrel notes, varnish and liquorice. Polished, pure red berries in a good drinking phase and really good! Feels like a classic medium-good Bdx
My guess: Didn't get it right, even with only 4 choices left... Much better than expected! Wow!

I think this is bottle 9 from a dozen and this doesn't hit the heights of some earlier bottles. There is nice sweet mulberry on the nose but it feels a shade muted. The palate likewise is a little cool and feels greener than it was a couple of years ago. On this showing I would probably start to drink up.

Just a brief update but this continues to drink very well. Lovely mid-bodied Merlot dominant claret. Still fruit led with a nice amound of development. No rush to drink up.

This bottle was better than the one I opened yesterday. Very fruity and sweet nose, full body, a lot of wood.

Flat and flabby with awkward tannins. A very tired fruit bomb.
