Dark centre, red rim, some glass staining. No sediment. Open four hours and showing well. So enjoyable, we finished the bottle ! Smooth, mouth filling, still strong vanilla tones coming through, tannin furry on the teeth. Reckon it is approaching its peak now but will be at its best for a couple of years.

I did not take any notes. It was good, if youthful, and at the moment it definitely has that grainy tannic punch so typical of Bourg. I'll be sure to decant the next one.

Dark red centre, red rim. Young and vibrant. Full, not too tannic, vanilla finish. Delightful now, should knit well over the next two years. Very enjoyable.

This punches way above its weight (or price point) drinking wonderfully now.
