Drank alongside 1995 Giscours for interest/comparsion and i think was overshadowed by this as the smell and taste of the 1995 was far more excentuated, obvious and enjoyable. Very deep red with some berry smell. Dry and some fruit coming through when tasted. Opened out a bit after some time and the next day. Probably a slightly unfair comparison but even on it's own whilst enjoyable not great value.
