Originally brought for a party I commented that it could probably do with another year - and so it has proved. Transformed. Racy cherry-led fruit with just the right traces of acidity and old oak - now fully integrated. Light to medium bodied but with a good flavour concentration. Fully ready and, if still relatively simple, excellent value at the basic Bordeaux level (bonus point applied). Drink up this year while at its peak.

Wine is full bodied. Dark garnet Stewed dark fruit. Compote. Ripe strawberries Tight. Dry. Astringent. Round back end with a medium plus finish Tastes much like it's nose. A little 'fruity' for my taste but good none the less.

Woody and smokey on the nose; concentrated flavours. Medium length and tannins fairly strong. Worth decanting to mellow the tannins slightly, really good with food rather than alone.

Daughter's 30th Birthday Party; Hog Roast, Marquees etc... More a beautiful warm summer white and rosé evening. Nonetheless, 7 bottles consumed with the splendid food. Taught blackcurrant and green capsicum in a medium frame. Probably needs another year but not a keeper - and not meant to be! Sound - does what it says on the label.
