Relatively pale ruby - a reasonably watery rim; quite an unripe, stalky aroma alongside muddled red and dark fruits on the nose; pretty mean and lean, austere. Weedy, lacking ripeness. For fans of 'classic' Bordeaux only.

Medium nose shows rustic fruit, fresh forest, green pepper, red/black fruit but non-distinct. Palate matches, rustic but fresh, smooth presentation, not very big in body, medium alcohol (13%), medium acidity, medium finish, medium plus tannins. It has some Bordeaux characteristics but they are not obvious. Good all purpose wine.

Unimpressive bouquet
Fairly balanced fruit and acid for a poor year
Find another vintage for the price
