Dense, in fact, completely opaque dark plum; solid lift on nose of stalky berry, a little musty, chalky; taste = a little closed but with well integrated tannins and soft fruit and smoky wood. A rather simple wine, but enjoyable.

Michael Schuster Fine Wine Course Day 3 (Headspace, Hatton Gardens, London): Medium garnet. Cassis, dried cherry, smoke, clove. Fully developed. Dry, medium (+) acidity, medium (+) tannins, quite dry and rustic, chalky, medium body, lost of dark fruit on the palate, medium (-) length, fruit doesn't persist. Old fashioned St Julien. Drink now, not suitably for further ageing, starting to dry out.

Pleasant earthy nose. Nice fruit in the middle and a smooth finish.

This is drinking beautifully now. Mature claret at its best.
