On the nose, aromas of tobacco, dark fruit, leather, graphite. Despite its age, plenty of fruit on the palate. Acidity is there but fading a little. Medium-bodied with gentle/softer tannins. Drinking well; served in a quick decant.

Elegant, but rich. A finely delineated breadth of flavour. Tannins have evaporated but the wine has the richness to compensate. Fully ready and hints of a fine Burgundy in mouthfeel Really very good

Deep garnet color with a bit of brown on the edge. Still powerful with firm tannins, spicy wood notes, lush fruit flavors mingled with hints of herbs and leather. A beautiful wine!

Lovely, mature CdP. Lush red fruit, raspberry like, and hints of earth and licorice. Not much tannin left and the backbone comes from the well balanced acid and fruit. Enjoyed this bottle with grilled ribeye steak and asparagus.

Soft. Lucious. Fresh. Slightly reductive initially. Round. Delivers on what you want for this wine. Some raspberry and slighty leafy. A fun wine.
