great colour and cabernet nose. plenty of fruit but no fruit bomb. no hard edges but smith tannins. drinking beautifully. saved a quarter bottle overnight just corked the bottle . still excellent 12 hours later. 11 more bottles i am very pleased.

very expressive nose but a little harsh on opening. softened into a very very nice easily drinkable cdp after a 2 hour decant. lots of fruit but elegant, tannins still there but softening. enjoy now but will give increasing pleasure over time.

a little disappointing on 1st opening but do not be put off it opens up very well. needs decanting. after 4 hours in air a terrific wine. light but silky smooth. an unmistakeable fine burgundy
