Lovely berry nose with florals. The palette does not match up. Whilst the grainy tannins maintain a grip, the wine is old school lesser claret, a little austere, irony, rustic. As they subside, they leave a fairly easy to drink but slightly sour and uninteresting wine. Quite a let down, with each sip, after the nose, which is so nice that it keeps readying afresh for a nice drink

This wine definately benefitted from 15 minutes of air time which allowed the old-world style fruit to emerge and the initial funky finish to disappear. After the air time the wine became a pleasant, mature Margaux with silky tannins and balanced fruit and acidity. Drink now.

This wine is past its prime. No apparent fruit or tannins. This bottle may have been a bit off.
