On initial opening, this was instantly appealing - glorious classic Bordeaux nose with just a hint of extra fruit. On tasting, a very enjoyable combination of cherry, raspberry and spice with secondary hints of pencil and damson. Over the course of the bottle however, came to be a little cloying and less enjoyable. Not sure why - but it does seem strongest on first impressions. Still a very well made bottle of wine though.

Very good Bordeaux-blend with plenty of smooth, delicious fruit. A little one-dimensional at the moment but hoping it'll gain complexity over the next few years.
