  There's a lot of wine here for the money. Cassis and blood plum fruits. Some spice and licorice. Creamy through the mid-palate and a finish that has good persistence and freshness and moderate tannic chew.

  Youthful but lovely Cru Bourgeois. This had a red fruited core with some ground pepper spiciness and well formed if tight palate with the tannins 5 or so years away from entirely resolving. A useful sighter of what is likely to become a good everyday claret from this terrific vintage.

  First bottle of 6. This wine is fine. Right now it's no better, no worse. Medium+ body, good balance, some decent fruit, restrained tannins. Nothing special going on here, nothing not to like either. Just coming into a prime drinking window, maybe it will improve, or improve with food.

  Medium red. Medium weight nose, cassis, mint, earth and graphite. It seemed in a very good place. Earthy berry and cassis flavours and a quite tannic finish.
  
  Very nice lighter weight Bordeaux. Abv.13.5%.
