  I was quite disappointed by this Wine. The immediate impression is a vanilla from Oak. And while the wine does slightly open up and improve with Air, it has drying tannins from what I take to be an overly aggressive oak regime. I don’t think this is going to improve a great deal from here.

  Drank this at Burlamacco Ristorante last night with my wine mates. Theme of the dinner: A nice bottle of wine to celebrate Christmas.
  
  Dark red to purple in colour. Well structured and drinking beautifully. Neither too aggressive nor overwhelmed; this wine has a bit of everything but not too much of something. Elegant, wholesome and delicious.

  For a very dodgy vintage this was surprisingly palatable, and a very enjoyable mature Bordeaux. Drunk straight from the bottle everything was fully integrated with resolved tannin. I suspect that this needs to be drunk in the nearer term to be enjoyed at its best.

  Last bottle from case. Still drinking very fine. Not much fruit left, but still some tannins there. Nice tertiary flavours that carry the wine. Overall just a very elegant wine that still drinks great!

  From this bad vintage a good cellared wine. Just passed his Peak but tannins are still present, fruit is almost vanished but the tertiary Aromas carry this wine. 89
