Ruby, slight orange rim, Spice on the nose, medium acidity, Cherry, dark fruits, spice on the palate, nice secondary flavours coming through, tobaccco, leather, well intergrated tannins, very smooth, this wine is holding up well, has another year or 2 in it but probably best drunk now, good value

On first impression, nice bright notes of berry, round in the mouth and soft tannins on the finish. After 30 minutes in the decanter, I picked up musty notes and I am now wondering if the bottle was in fact corked -- strange though that I did not pick up on this at first. Despite this minor flaw, an enjoyable wine probably just beyond its peak.

a lot of black fruit, nice wine, but you have to drink it fast, wine is fading fast when opened, tannins are gone

Soft, luscious easy drinking smooth wine. Spicy notes on the backside. Best with pasta or pizza. Drinking well now, best before end of '09.

A magnum - soft, faded tannins, still some nice fruit left. Very tasty, always a good value for money Medoc
