(Decanted for one hour) Deep red colour still showing a blue red rim with a maturing nose showing leather, sous bois and fruity touch of blackberries. Smoothing tannins on the palette focused on primary fruit and opening up with a pleasant finish showing dried herbs. (Best 2016-2026)

A fully mature, classic claret -- not particularly powerful, but with no off notes, so very pleasant to drink. A good demonstration of what can happen to even lower-level Bordeaux reds if you keep them long enough.

(Decanted for one hour) Nice brick red colour with a maturing nose showing cherry stone, leather and drying fruit. Palate showing smooth tannins and drying fruit and a touch of leather starting to show bitterness as it opens up in the glass. This was very pleasant with the grilled entrecôte, afterwards it showed more dried fruit on the palate. This is good now and should keep on this level for a few more years. (Best 2016-2021)

Herbal notes on the very expressive nose also showing cassis, cedar. Tertiary notes on the palate with austere tannins and a lovely long finish with a combination of sweet fruit and herbal notes. Best 2016-2026.

Deep red color with signs of brick at the glass ends. Typical Bordeaux bouquet, full body but not heavy balanced and pleasant in the mouth. Decanting of about 30 min will help. Drink now.
