Very straight forward beautiful left bank Bordeaux, cherry, licorice, clove. This tannic, but elegant and long, drinking perfectly right now and could keep for many more years.

Perfect cork, clearly well stored. Classic Bordeaux on opening, quite tannic and dry, not as rich as one might expect from 2010. Left to decant for two hours then drank with lamb cutlets. Beautiful. Very obviously merlot dominant, still fruity, yet dry and nice oak too. Classic Sunday lunchtime claret for lamb. Definitely more Cru Bourgeois in character and lacks the depth of a classified growth but still very good. Still quite youthful. With mature Gouda cheese it seems more left bank but lacked some body. Surprising considering how tannic it was earlier. Still very good. Great value for money.
