More or less consistent with my previous notes. Needs just a bit of air to release a slight reductive layer for the wine to come together. Good, traditional CnP.

Elegant, long and complex nose and palate. Secondary aromas showing nicely. Has the freshness of traditional CnP as opposed to modern style wines from the region. Drinks perfectly now but no need to hurry.

Tannins were well integrated as you'd expect with a 11 year old CnP, but the fruit was gone and a rustic, barnyard nose and palate was all that was left. Definitely passed its prime.

Deep intense purple colour. Slightly spicy, roasted plum and cherry nose with some hints of licorice. Solid, dense, rather intense, faintly smoky, roasted ripe plum flavours which are harmonious and well balanced with a lingering finish. Quite juicy, rounded and fruity.

Ruby with purple, not so very dark colour. In the bouquet overripe fruits. Backward but juicy in the taste. Minerals. A lot of bitterness. Complex.
