  Much better than my last bottle, this was really rather good - soft ripe fruit, less spicy than before, well-rounded and charming, whilst sturdy enough to warrant more cellaring as it may even get better.

  Une belle surprise !
  Apparence rouge pourpre très dense.
  Nez riche, prune, cacao, boite à cigare.
  En bouche, les tanins sont bien perceptibles, très structurants, un peu rapeux. Une sucrosité adoucissant les tanins mais sans excès. Les saveurs sont riches et gourmandes, chocolat mi-sucré, prune cuite. Dans une belle fenêtre de dégustation. Très bonne valeur.

  Still quite firm. I have one bottle left. Will see how long I can hold on to it.

  Bu avec de la bavette BBQ, il se présente en pleine forme, avec une belle complexité au nez, fruit noir, terreux, cuir, torréfaction, un peu de tabac. En bouche c'est généreux et velouté, bien équilibré avec une acidité rafraîchissante et une bonne structure apportée par des tannins bien présents et assouplis par une décennie de patience. Belle longueur. Un médoc typé, qui offre tout le plaisir qu'un cru Bourgeois classique, à point, peut nous offrir.

  Stewed fruit on the nose, dark cherries, cinnamon, earth.
  Nice bite to it, proper Medoc cut, still quite a bit of tannin but it’s smooth and relaxes quite quickly to reveal dark chocolate and plenty of cooked fruit and baking spices with a leathery finish with that chocolate note coming through. Good freshness here too. Drunk with cottage pie , a great combination.
  This is much better than I expected. Mature Medoc with plenty to give for £17. Bargain. I like the style, generous but classic, non excess alcohol or oak.
