89/90. A bit closed aromatically. Needs 3-4 hrs aeration to open up on the palate. Has light aromas of leather, earth, iron hints, blackberries and menthol. Its medium bodied solid nicely oaked a bit austere black fruits palate has very good chewy depth and length. 13.5%. Drink up in next 2-5 years.

Last bottle. Nice Bordeaux that is drinking very well now on short decant. In a mature phase now with reduced fruit and significant secondary elements. Very well balanced. Good value.

Compared to last tasting note 3 years ago, there is less fruit and more secondary elements. Still drinking well but probably nearing the end of it's window since fruit is starting to fade.
