  Lovely but a bit on the thin side. Blackberry, leather, forest floor, sandalwood, hints of pencil shavings, and red cherry.

  the tannins are fully resolved and I guess this is pretty much as good as it gets in this vintage - a soft and relatively quite delicate wine - easy drinking!

  A rare find at the Emirates business lounge in Dubai as most Bdx seems to be second wines from mid tier producers nowadays. Must have found it’s way from the First Class lounge somehow. Almost full bottle so potentially only recently opened and takes some time to balance out in the glass. Still a fairly dark garnet with a very thin translucent rim. Initially dominated by cedar and wood spices which integrate with more air. Medium body, fine to medium tannins well integrated. Not particularly long. Nice but I recall this being a touch better when trying 5 years ago. Perhaps a proper but short decant would make it even better. 91-92

  surprisingly ready to drink with the tannins largely resolved, this really shows the weakness of the vintage - not a big wine and I'm not sure it will improve but nice enough

  It needed an hour to open up but then there were beautiful notes of cedar, tobacco, soft tannins. Fruit very present from start with wonderful long finish. Ready for drinking now. Could also age for another 5 years and would be even softer.
