  Clear, medium ruby fading to a clear rim. Decanted 5 hours.
  
  Bouquet is ripe and powerful. Less elegant than expected, more port-like. Espresso and rich plum.
  
  Fine tannins, modest acids. Flavours very well matched to the nose. Plush texture and very long finish.
  
  Nice density, good value. A complete wine.

  Very old style, red apple and old leather, a touch of VA. Remarkably CdP-like nose. Peppery, chestnutty, slightly bloody. Almost Rhone-like palate, meat and pepper. Grippingly tannic.

  This has softened quite a bit in the 5 years since I last had it. Now showing its potential and ready to go. Still full of fruit, early maturity, earth and cassis nose. Mix of plum and cassis flavour. Solid but not much complexity yet. Ready now but should still become more interesting. No rush.

  From a magnum with whole filet mignon at Christmas dinner. Classic Bordeaux drinking well with dark cherry, blueberry & cassias, medium body with just enough tannins to elongate the finish. While not the most memorable wine it just worked well and became part of the overall dinner. Wish I had more.
