2 hr. decant through vinturi. Nose of red fruits, some vanilla and quite a bit of alcohol still present. Medium palate. Red fruit is starting to come out with a green pepper note torward the finish. Tannins are well integrated. Good wine but at this stage a little monotonous. Will see how it develops with some more air.

Still amazingly young with a wonderful attack of aggressive tannins. It has the fruit and concentration to back it up. Lacking somewhat in complexity, but a good companion through a dinner á la furansu.

What a fantastic, mature wine. Great for weeknight dinner. Good enough for a more serious dinner as well.

A nice, affordable mature Bordeaux. A brilliant weeknight dinner wine.

Picked up at airport. Very mature claret. A decent drink if not paying more than $15. Medium - finish, medium - intensity
