From glass. Big, BIG nose of stinky Dutch Masters cigars and my grandfather's ashtray. Lovely. Also hints of smoky meat. Palate mild, but full, tannin-resolved, juice of the Dutch Masters above, also some surviving cassis, tiniest hints of charcuterie. Delicious astringency, lively acidity. Fabulous mature Bordeaux. Inspired to lay some recent vintages.

- Garnet color with slow forming legs and aromas of vanilla, black currant, blackberry, black pepper, black olive and some smokiness and tobacco. It's in total harmony and has flavours of strawberry jam and prune with a medium/full body. Smooth texture with a long finish -

Monthly tasting club "The Tasting Club"; Pauillac (@RvdG): Fairly light garnet red. In the bouquet herbs and some bell pepper. Same on the palate. Some figs and dates. The tannin is soft and completely melted. Not really concentrated. Still ok, but drink up.

Should have been drunk several years ago, but still quite silky and not without style, although essentially insipid and with bland fruit

Relatively weak wine. Pleasant enough.
