Decanted an hour before drinking, as a touch of acidity detected. Smoothed off nicely during meal. Appearance: brick red, almost brown Nose: slightly salty, cherries and a touch of smoke. Taste: some berry fruits, hint of stewed prunes, medium length. Overall, nice experience but drink up now as it is not a classic haut-brion. Paired with roast pork, stuffed with tarragon, coated in mustard. Roast potatoes with thyme and rosemary and broccoli.

Beautifully crisp with citrus notes. Finishing with a lovely note of acacia honey. Went great with escargots de Bourgogne.
