Tasted blind. Notes of sous bois, blackcurrant and eucalyptus. Lovely in the palate, fully resolved and with very fine tannins and acidity. Textbook Claret, more elegant than big.

No ullage, which was surprising. Slow, thin legs. Light ruby red, slight browning on the rim. Aromas of tobacco, cherry, pencil lead, minerals. Delicate, elegant nose. Bit of barnyard that blows off. Medium-bodied, still with some fruit of red berries. Tannins non-existent. Fleshed out a little bit with time, showing more red fruit. Short finish. Over the hill, but still drinkable.

Delicious fully mature claret. Nothing crazy. But very good on a Wednesday nights with steak.

Light, lacks fruiit, seems a bit hollow; rounded and supple but lacks power and structure; decent length, cheese rind.
