Purchased from BBR in their sale last summer having been bottled for them. This wine looks its age - garnet/brick coloured with watery rim. Nose is muted (some black fruits, but predominantly tobacco & leather) and this wine was probably better a couple of years ago as it had harm but no sense of tension or interest. Light-medium bodies and short finish.

The wine looks brick colored. The legs are medium. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like tobacco, chocolate, barnyard, strawberry and black currant (cassis). It tastes like barnyard, black pepper, bark, peach, strawberry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium. The wine has leathery texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Wine Education Service - Mature Bordeaux (LSE): Still plenty of colour, a little cloudy. Muted stewed fruit on the nose, with some development notes. Juicy and complex, liquorice with some fruit, delicious but not going much further.

Impressive nose, fruity. Taste delicate, could have lived for several more years
