As I approach a significant birthday seems very appropriate to broach the last of a case given by a group of my colleagues on the last significant birthday - fully mature , a little prominent on the acidity but settled down to be a lovely accompaniment to a mature cheese - goodbye old vinous friend.

Classic Bordeaux color, red fruit on the nose and mid palate, with abbreviated finish. Lacking in complexity and one-dimensional. Granted, still holding up, but no good on day 2 despite being de-aired (kept at room temperature over night). Not one to let lie in the cellar for much longer.

Still going strong, likely at its peak. Age has certainly improved this. Solid Bordeaux.

Really nice and at its peak. Smooth, balanced and quite elegant. Good amount of fruite, combined with emerging tertiary aromas. Great value!
