  Medium bodied. Sweet berry fruit, cassis, touch of herb. Smooth tannins blended in. Smooth. Medium to long finish. Great spot now

  Fully mature, medium bodied, earthy, red berry dominated charmer with a touch of herbs, tobacco and wet earth that rides along with the soft, cherry fruits.

  This is perfectly delightful, old Bordeaux that would make a nice luncheon wine. Minty black currant and oak on the nose. Medium bodied and somewhat silky with almost enough grip for flank steak with pebre. Drink now while still fresh. 88

  Aroma smokey, blackberry, plush plum, licorice, earthiness, vanilla bean.
  Nice mellowed flavours. Medium bodied. Still some nice berry fruit and plums. Tannins are mellow and soft. Nice decent length to the finish (dominated by cassis, a faint bit of nutmeg/cinnamon, and a touch of graphite). But a definite decline in acidity. While the wine was still tasty, it just seemed to lack that little bit of zest/zing/oooomph. Overall.... an 87 points.
