  Garnet, medium bodied, not complex but enjoyable, approachable, aromatic nose with blackcurrant on the palate and medium finish. Little evidence of tertiary character.

  Still relatively fresh and nicely balanced, with red and blue fruits, a bit of slate, undergrowth and slightly saline element on the finish that brings you back for more. Still a hint of dusty tannin on the finish, so I expect will last a bit longer, but its not particularly concentrated and it’s ready to go and so not much upside to waiting either.
  
  My only criticism would be that lacks a bit of depth/intensity, but it is a second wine in a tougher year after all. It’s still a well made wine and a solid option for a dinner party.

  This has never been a very strong wine. In general I am not a fan at all of second wines. I rather drink the first wine of a "lesser" Cru. Some blue fruit, vanilla, medium bodied. good plushness but short finish.

  Drikke moden. Ingen taniner - blød og afrundet. Har udviklet sig rigtigt god

  Knew this might have issues as the cork had more staining that it should have. 1hr+ decant. Great nose of dark cherries, graphite, and earth. Wine was not as robust or deep as past bottles. There was a medicinal element to it that was unattractive and out of place. Slightly biting finish. All things point to an off bottle and probably poor storage/handling by the seller. Wasn’t bad by any stretch, but not what should be expected.
