nice and correct and decent QPR. In a good place right now with fruit well presented and cedar notes showing nicely. Mellow tannin and balanced acidity. Drink up over the next few years.

Having never been much of a fan of Bordeaux, thought i'd give this a go without much expectation. Well I now think I might be getting it. A lovely nose of blackcurrant and cigar box, with a little oak and just the faintest hint of leather and smoke. On the palate, a good body, decent acidity with the fruit playing a good supporting role. Still a good lick of tannin carrying through on the quite long finish. I wouldn't call it "great", but it's very enjoyable - will have to expand my Bordeaux drinking.

Pretty good. A little development evident with graphite and hint of tobacco emerging from the fruit profile. A nice quaffer that will drink now or keep short-medium term

Obvious minerality. Well balanced. Great with food. Drank opposite a Robert Mondavi Cab. While the Cali Cab was much more fruit forward, the balance on the Bordeaux was much better with food. Very interesting tasting.
