Medium-bodied, fully-mature, early drinker with round textures and a licorice and dark red plum character. Pleasant, but not much complexity. Subsequent vintages show a lot of improvement.

Much improved budget claret. Was tough and unfriendly two years ago (a distress purchase at Majestic UK). Enjoyed this one - but wouldn't serve it to the bishop.

Earthy, minerals, black olives, briney, grass, perhaps light black licorice in the background.
Light, dry, oak aged. perhaps some light red currant, but none of the typical fruit flavoring. Velvety tanins.
Agree with others, it’s not exciting but it’s not a bad pour either. Drink now.
