  Still heavily influenced by oak but fortuitously drunk with lamb so could have believed I was drinking rioja. smooth, enjoyable drinking, will last a few more years with ease based on this bottle.

  Bought out of curiosity for bbq as I was hoping for a decent Bdx blend from a slightly cooler region. Unfortunately the old stereotype held, after an also unconvincing 98 Lynch Moussas this tasted like grape juice. Decent fruit and little structure, short finish.

  No formal notes. Popped and poured.
  
  Nice bordeax nose with good depth to it. Fruit, tobacco, earth and herbs. The palate was a disappointment. The fruit was overly soft in my opinion and the wine lacked structure. A flabby cotton wool type of bordeaux blend. It didn't even have an extracted fruit flavour to give that deliciousness. It seemed that the fruit was rather lackluster as well.

  Still very young. Lots of oak to soften out.

  Unlabelled bottle direct from winery.
  
  Delicious Cabernet Merlot. Understated, fragrant aroma of rich fruits, aniseed and caramelised apricots. Smooth on the front of palate. Sweet, full taste framed by mineral acidity. Long finish.
