Really developing nicely into a very impressive Bordeaux for this price range. Becoming quite approachable but still with enough complexity to retain interest throughout. Nice balance of fruit (plum, blueberry) with more traditional hints of pencil and iron.

On opening, gorgeous fragrance of strawberry, cherry with a hint of spice. After two hours, wine was dry, tannic with the fruit very muted. On the second day however, was delicious. Silky, balanced with a lovely harmony of cherry, violet and lead. Very elegant, very polished. Definitely one to keep for some time yet.

Decanted for one hour before serving. Astringent nose with muted fruit suggests still young. On tasting, initial impressions of cherry followed by dominant mouthfull of pencil, tobacco and cedar. Good weight and balance and a reasonably length. Still on the way up and will not open another bottle for some time.
