This is still evolving but it's another good effort from TDHM. Fine, dusty tannins over essentially blackcurrant flavours, with a round, almost spherical feel to the middle section and a good finish. At a paltry 7 euros the mind boggles.

Plenty of middleweight charm, with more redcurrant than usual, quite dusty tannins but they're still there, so not quite ready yet. Very good at the price.

Amazingly very little brown colouring for a cork stopped 8 year old bottle. Still fruit, distinctly summer fruit. Probably could have coped with up to 5 more years in the bottle.

This was ok but lacked fruit which I guess is a characteristic of the vintage. Interesting to drink relatively soon after having a half bottle of the 1971 which I enjoyed. Decent bouquet but a bit hollow and short on the palete.

Sweet caramel initially which blew away and gave way to black and red fruit. The palate has lots of black fruit initially but then there's a nice green, savoury edge on the lightish finish. Very good for the price.
