Good structure and tannins, with a little cassis fruit and leather but overwhelmed by gamey and Bretty notes. It’s volatile too, and needs drinking up. Past its best. CHP 86 pts

Consistent with previous note. Perfect ripeness and lovely balance. This wine doesn’t pretend to compete with a Grand Cru Classé but with its Cru Bourgeois status it more than delivers on all fronts. Just lovely. No hurry with this vintage although it will change in style over the years to come due to further ripening.

Coravin fun - 1995 & 2005 Bordeaux (My place, Kent Street): From Coravin. Cream, sweet plums over savoury blackcurrant, touch of caramel; polished oak, sweet spice, with a smidge of mocha, a little raspberry note with time. Juicy, creamy, talc textured tannins have a slightly chalky butt, again sweet plum over savoury blackcurrant, non intrusive alcohol warmth . Quite complete for such a relatively entry level wine.

This had a savoury edge over 2010, showed its bottle age well. Drink soon

Drinks with the Meat and Wine guys (Downstairs in the Boardroom, Kent Street): Lovely blackcurrant, earth, leather, sweet spice is reflected on the nose and the palate, tannins are chalky but integrated. Balanced. Lovely
