Fully developed, possibly already downward sloping. Medium bodied, well structured. Mature cassis and raspberries, cedar, chocolate, liquorice, fine leather and ample coffee/roast aromas, but thinning out and some acidity still around and spoiling the finish.

89/90. Has beautiful aromas of leather, blueberries, violets, chalk hints and chocolatey cassis. Its medium bodied supple elegant well oaked blue, red and black fruits palate ends mediumish, fresh+tapering. A very youthful elegant wine. Keep 5-10 years. Needs 30 mins aeration. 13%. Very enjoyable!

Good example of well-aged Saint Emilion. Lots of burnt and forest floor aromas. Solid body, with some raspberry, a nice twist of acidity, and refreshing and moreish finish with fine tannin. Great with a ribeye.

Beautiful colour in bright ruby red! Leathery dark fruits on the nose, rather astringent palate, lacking a bit of fruits, fail to echo the nose in this case!

Like so many 2000s it was a very dark red and plenty of rich ripe fruit but all one dimension and requires another 5-7 years to see any complexity and interest basically. Like so many from this vintage it will offer so much more in the future.
