Brick red rim, still rather dark heart. Tar, tea and dried fruit on the nose. Nice balaced attack, mellowed tannins, still plenty of sweet fruit, very much alive. Nice bottle, pitty it was the last one.

Dark, translucent brownish hue; coffee, cabbage soup in the nose, mature fruit, classic bx claret; young and perky on the palate, neat and elegant (somewhat chilly, straight from the cellar) rather than lush, disciplined and straight rather than complex effort, still needs some time/careful decanting.

Purple-black hue, somewhat transparent, broadish dark purple rims; tight nose, flowers: pansies, violets, quite immature; palate quite young, inpenetrable; ultimate structure but little else for the time being, maybe something in the future, quite imposible to approache now, this explains the role in Bx; low average age of vines?
