Subtle and slight with good balance. Savoury profile with a little saddle leather and vegetal, herbal notes and some dried blueberries on the finish. Thought-provoking but ultimately just a little lean for my palate. Drink now.

Medium deep to deep black cherry red, nose is cigar box, sweet cassis - on the palate, quite smooth, almost plush, with reserved tannins for structure, good length. Spice, some oak notes, good fruit and a fresh finish. Drinking really well, but no huge rush. Better showing than I was expecting based on previous comments.

Similar to my earlier bottles, maybe a little better. The experience is like a middling Cru Bourgeois of, say, 2012. It is as if the development of the wine stopped at about 6-8 years of age; the colour is still deep but there is no complexity.

Better than expected. Good drinking here.
Savoury but not as dry as some 2006. Flavoursome good food wine.
Perhaps the earlier comments were during a closed period in its development.
13.5%, cork.

Good wine without having any complexity to be excellent. Nothing wrong but could be a Bordeaux blend from anywhere!
