Not so obviously right bank (vs left bank), with a still firm tannic structure, and on opening had more of the blackcurrant / leafy / cigar box nose, though an hour later that nose is a little more typical, and there is some plummyness coming through on the palate.
The acidity supports well, and with the fruit still being relatively youthful and persistent, this feels like it could improve over another decade with ease.
One to look out for.

- Slow forming legs. It's somewhat balanced and has flavours of blackberry and black pepper with a medium/full body. Polished texture with a long finish - A nicely structured and balanced wine with ample finish.
