More than five years since last bottle. Not much improvment. Quite pretty nose dominanted by black currant. Very thin and hollow in the mouth. Ok drink, no more.

Need a wine after a week's trip in China, so cracked this one and it was just nice drinking a good bottle of french wine. Not extra-ordinary but still pleasant and easy to drink. Med body, with light body flavor.

This bottle was opened early to preced the Kirwan. It was not decanted and drunk straight out, found it a bit flat, mono-dimensional and hollow. Just average...but I must say that it does gain a bit weight after about 30-45min later but we were awaiting the other bottle! OK Average

Deep ruby red in appearance. On the nose we have some blackcurrant, mint and tobacco. Medium bodied, soft tannins giving way to some dark berry fruits and some cedar. Medium length. Very nice.
