Tasted blind. Unclear brown-red color. Very dense and opaque. Impossible to see through. It smells fruity. Quite good. Dates and vanilla. Oaky and with sour fruit paired with coffee notes in the end. It tastes fruity and light. Fine and pure. Not much tannins. Quite powerful and lots of blackcurrant.

Dark ruby red colour, clear and very weighty. A strong, thick fruit nose. Alcoholic 'Ribena'! A hefty blackcurrant aroma, a an equally potent alcoholic bouquet! Dry mouthfeel. A huge, complex taste, dry tannin, a big blackcurrant fruitiness, which is followed by a strong peppery spice. The finish is long.

Brick red, looks mature
Lovely nose of cedar tree combined with mature fruit
Well balanced with good structure and length, the fruit has held remarkably well.
Good, not great red Bordeaux from a vintage that still provides positive surprises.

Very good for the price and holding well, some may find this too rustic though.

Very good, well balanced, mature Bordeaux. Good depth of flavour. Should hold its quality for 5+ years.
