A friend brought this to our home dinner party last Saturday, I don't know who it was as it was among a bunch of bottles left on our kitchen counter. Opening it a few days later, I wasn't expecting much, but it turned out to be a nice surprise. Pleasant understated bouquet of dried flowers, bouquet garni, dark berries and earth. Medium bodied on the palate, with decent core of fruit, gentle rounded tannins and barely noticeable alcohol. Typical cool-year bordeaux from the pre-global heating days.

Powerful bouquet with black fruits and oak. In the taste sweetness from the oak, black currant juice, some liquorice and good acidity. Young tannin in the finish.

Ex-chateau. Good nose of dried leaves. Balance is still here but flavours are fading. Finish is short and diluted. Avoid.

An easy afternoon with close friends; Pomerol, Margaux (@ My place): Ruby with a slightly brown edge. Appealing bouquet with good oak and (mainly red) fruit. Fairly full bodied with a good amount of acidity. Long aftertaste with a little sweetness.

An easy afternoon with close friends; Bordeaux; Margaux (@ My place): Purple. Little wood and raspberry in the bouquet. Fairly full bodied with fruit juice (currants and raspberry) Goes through the whole mouth. Complete wine. Now beautiful. Do not wait too long!
