Nose of sweet tobacco, licorice, cassis and vanilla. None of the “stinky”-ness noted by certain critics. Finish is medium but the palate is pleasant with integrated tannins and good red and black fruits. Classic Bordeaux.

Final bottle. Crisp acidity, mild but slightly drying tannins, quite peppery, cool minerality, red cherries, tertiary development (rosehip, white nuts, forest floor), light and fresh, liquorice and a hint of vanilla, transparent but without much weight, dry finish but good length. Still agreeable but completely ready. Drink up. Holds up well on the second day.

Nice nose. Quite classic.
Dark, savoury fruits. It has warmth and softness but the black bible leather flavour makes this a bit stern. Needs food.
Good wine. More like St Estephe (at least in the old days) than Margaux.
13%, cork.

In the bouquet red berries, herbs and some metal. On the palate very ripe fruits, some celery and medium bodied. Ok wine, but a bit disappointing.
