Still drinking nicely. Cork was a bit dry and broke taking it out. quite a musty nose on opening but this rapidly dissipated. Bricked rim. This isn't going to last very long, however as an aged crus bourgeois its not bad at all. easy drinking and at £11 on special offer I may buy some more

NOSE: Funky, a little delicious. Warm, woody. Not that much fruit. Some funkiness in common with Calon. I initially liked it... but I was soooo excited I'm sure the emotion of the moment affected my judgement. Not a lot of fruit.
Palate: weak tannins, a little black fruit, some bitterness on the back end. Medium-low acidity. When I took a proper-sized sip: a little unripe greenness, quite bitter, hollow. Low tannins. Finish - not great. 80pts.

Dunkelrot, schon aufhellend; etwas Cassis, deutlich Vanille und Holztöne, präsente Säure; wird nicht mehr besser, zum Essen ok

I thought this wine was pretty thin without much taste to it. There was no finish on this wine and nothing terribly exciting about this.
