Deep purple; black currants, slight licorice, crushed stones; restrained fruit, medium body, noticeable acidity, slightly tannic finish. Decanted 2 hrs. A nice Bordeaux from a lesser vintage. Good food wine. Drink sooner than later.

This time we didn't decant before drinking. I don't know if this is an issue of bottle variation or more time in the bottle, but this time was significantly better than the last. Prominent nose of roasted meats, spice, oak and black fruit, a very "Bordeaux" profile. On the palate it is still a bit thin, but leaves a nice sweet flavor in the mouth.

Quite youthful still - nice balanced red fruits claret in a modern style. Needs 5 more years.

this wine just disappeared, a tribute to its smoothness, nothing overwhelming just a rich blend of flavours
