Dried red fruit, tobacco, cigar box, some notes of bitter fruit and savory/coffee. Bretty? Med body, med acid, med tannin. Texturally this is we balanced but I feel like the fruit is falling out of this bottle. The acidity/tannin is starting to pop through more than I remember. Try another bottle soon. Could be time to drink up.

What a delightful Bordeaux! Fully mature, open and welcoming, full of charm. Structure is soft but still there and provides lift and interest. Palate is quite floral - dried rose petals, along with red fruits and tertiary leather. Long and complex. Drinking perfectly now, don't wait.

Classic Bordeaux, not of the highest rank - but pretty good. Elegant, moderate intensity of forest berries, medium weight. Right now this is a 50/50 mix of fruit and tertiary leather and forest floor. Still some oak here. Medium length, complex. Drink now, don't think this has the concentration to improve further.

Birth year wine on the birthday, so definitely a significant wine for me.
Medium garnet in colour.
Black cherry, cassis, forest floor, earthy, leather, vanilla, tobacco, smokey and nice floral notes on the nose.
Strawberries, red fruit. Silky and velvety tannins. Tart, but in a good way, although slightly losing the freshness. Still displaying good length & good acidity.
Overall still drinking well & still showing signs of complexity.

Brick edge, bloody core.
Clean, dried, red fruit, iron and chalk.
Damn good, 10 years left.
