Kept this bottle for a long time, it paid off. Soft tannins, acidity still high, in the nose and mouth flavors dark red fruit, spices, musk, floral. Full bodied.

- Garnet color with medium forming legs and aromas of raspberry, blackberry, tobacco, violet and horsey. It's balanced and has flavours of tobacco, blackberry, raspberry and violet with a medium/full body. Fleshy texture - I tried this wine a few years ago and it's tannins were too harsh but it had lots of acidity. I saved a few bottles for later and I don't regret. It is still a very conservative, old style Bordeaux, but having said that it is very enjoyable. Tannins have softened a lot, they are pretty round now, tobacco, leather and ripe red fruit are there as expected, not very intense though. For those who like the style, it is a nice surprise, given earlier reviews when the wine was too young.
