13.5% alcohol. Good long cork. Decanted an hour ahead. The colour is deep with limited fading (and no bricking) at the rim. Inviting nose with vivid dark fruit, spices and the harmonious remnants of oak; some confectionery in the finish. The mouth is in the same vein with excellent acidity to balance the tertiary and élevage notes. The tannins are resolved but there is very good grip. A very enjoyable Médoc of the juicy variety; close to peak but nowhere near decline.

Just a quick note to record the fact that this is much more high-pitched than the Ségur de Cabanac of the same vintage and consequently less harmonious. May improve with another three years in bottle.

Coming into its own, good Delon delineation.
