  I made the error of not letting this breathe long enough before pouring and drinking my 1st glass. I basically opened and poured which was not ideal as the wine was closed, too earthy and bitter.
  
  After an hour it started to open up and then matched with a scotch fillet it came into its own.
  
  The wine looks brick coloured. The legs are fast. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like mushroom, forest floor, espresso, coffee and cedar.
  
  The body is full bodied. The wine has leathery but smooth texture. The wine finishes medium length. The wine has low acidity.
  
  Drink now because it is not going to get any better.

  Wonderful classic Bordeaux aroma. Earthy, woody and fruity. Palate does not quite live up to the promise, weak in the middle and it has lost some power of the fruit. Drink now.

  Viel Kirsche, ein paar Röstaromen, Medoc-Erdigkeit. Trinkt sich schön, eher schlank, guter Säurenerv, aber natürlich auch sehr einfach. In den nächsten Jahren austrinken.

  Straight forward bordeaux. Solid good but not great.
