  Tasted from a half bottle again. Fresh, crisp blackcurrant with just enough earthiness to remind you where it comes from, very smooth and linear, made in a classic style with modern know-how. Enjoyable now but it will be a lot better with a few more years in the cellar. Good with food but on its own the tannins are a bit obtrusive.

  As soon as the cork was pulled this was singing. A warm and opulent nose. Beautify dark red color with almosy brown edges. Black currant fruit. Oak. It’s a great value Bordeaux to me. If you're new to Bordeaux like myself, this is a great wine. PNP or give it a short decant. I PNP and didn’t feel the need to decant.

  Quite good linear, velvety fruit, mostly blackcurrant with a hint of earthiness, but still too tannic to really enjoy. I'm not sure this will ever be transcending, but at 5€ a half I'm not complaining.

  Extremely fragant and fresh. Light in body and kissed by oak. Sharp grapefruit and gooseberry and lifted by white flowers.
