Absolutely stunning. Deep purple / red. Very slight bricking at the edges. Deep, rich, dark red fruits, leathers, iron and graphite all present at just the right time. Wonderful finish. Perfectly balanced fruit, depth and acid. Great representative of a classic pauillac and in my opinion, punching above its 5eme weight! It's perfectly ready to enjoy right now but suspect it's got years left if stored correctly.

Brick red edges in the glass provide the proof of age. Slight acertone hints on the nose soon give way to Bakewell tart, cherry and liquorice. Then a mouthful of kirsch steeped red fruit, cherry and tawny port linger on the palate for what seems an age. A delightful trip back in time and a ticket that doesn't break the bank.

Deep rich amber colour. Hugely complex and panoramic scope of flavours. Beautiful and perfectly balanced dryness stands back and gives way to rich, suptious aged sweetness. Christmas pudding, Marsala and a hint of burnt orange biscuit are long on the finish. A real treat
