Color looks fully mature. Simple pleasant nose. Taste some fruit but mostly flat. Still a nice wine but has aged a lot from the last bottle a year ago.

I oirdered this from my local Bel & Dragon restaurant. At £37 it was the second most expensive wine on their list and I was expecting something memorable. It was quite closed on the nose but the first taste was wonderfully smoothe and although it was rather lacking in flavour, we were optimistic that something would develop over the next couple of hours. How wring we were. Things deteriorated rapidly and we were left with increasingly noticeable tanins and no fruit. A complete waste of money.

Just pleasant, not more. Surprisingly almost no structure in this one.
Drink up if this is any indication.

Some brick color around edges. Good sediment in bottle. Meaty, earthy nose. Balanced on palate, some fruit left but fully mature.

Muted fruit, closed, and only declined as the hours passed.
