Very nice silky smooth strawberry and spice - second night and the wine is giving up a lot more, strawberry , spice a touch of leather and some marzipan - definitely more happening on the second night. The caronne is great value for money as always

Good but not the best Caronne, this has plenty of silky elegance as usual, just lacking a little oomph to merit a higher score, probably due to the vintage, but not remotely green or unripe.

Still fairly deep colour, a lean 2014 style, perhaps this will improve with a couple more years, but not a long keeper. One for those that enjoy a lighter style of claret.

Medium garnet. Blackcurrant, cedar and leather nose. More open than previous bottles, light and almost Loire like in style.
Overall good to go.
