Never a blockbuster, fruit has faded now leaving what was clearly a nicely made wine but it's now just mostly minerality. I guess I just left it too long...

Deep garnet red with brick edges. Layered nose with leather, black cherries, truffles, coffee beans and dark minerality. Medium tannins (6/10) with a medium to medium plus body. Lovely aged notes on the palate with cedar, cherries, leather, cigar boxes and gravel. Medium plus finish. Drink till 2023.

This wine def starts to show age on it. Lighter color and turning brickish. Classic dusty bdx nose, very mellow. Saddle leather, a bit of smoke, maybe a hint of clove and small red fruits reaching retirement age. On the palate the focus is no longer fruit but more tertiary notes. Damp tobacco, leather, pencil shavings, earthy. Tannines resolved and provide a soft creamy note at the moment. Pretty long but restrained finish. This is very enjoyable although quite light, very refined.

Deep matured ruby colour. Smoke, tobacco, ripe fruits (cherries, plums). Fresher and lighter bordeaux wine. Fine integreted tannins. Well drinkable. Time to drink it.

Pretty tertiary. For my unrefined palate a bit diluted. Light but still very pleasant.
