  Drinkable but not very enjoyable. The 2008 was better.

  upon opening, the nose in the bottle reminded me of band-aid, a very medicinal smell. This indicates brett, a wine disease. The smell dissipated, but the wine still didn't resemble a decent 10-year old Bordeaux. The finish was not pleasing. The overall sensation was of a very dry wine with no redeeming qualities. I decanted it and drank it the next day with steak. There was some improvement, but not enough to give it a score. I opened a $7 bottle of Spanish red, Laya, and the Spanish was better.

  A very obvious Bordeaux nose; really savoury - some mixed bramble fruit but deeply savoury with mushroom notes; some cloves and black pepper. Soft and mellow taste - drinking well but probably about to turn. A blue cheese note, which has always been characteristic of Greysac. Still some tannin but not much fruit left. A little spiciness initially gives way to a sour cherry finish. Good to have kept it until now.

  A little passed it's best. Overall lacklustre and uninteresting.

  Where to start?
  Always be wary of £10 claret. Especially if it has a label with a chateau and/or ornate gate.
  Miserably average. This is the 4th of 6 bottles over the last couple of years. No improvement.
  If this was not a bordeaux they would struggle to charge half as much.
  No structure, no fruit, no richness.
  Please, for the love of god, avoid.
