  Plenty of blackcurrant and eucalyptus. Still feels youthful and should keep for many more years.

  Dark red/black, tending to lighter red at the rim - menthol and cassis on the nose. Moderate body, not overdone but by the same token not of any great depth or complexity either. Thoroughly decent, but unexceptional.

  Pretty good. Dark in colour. Some alcohol in the nose. Dark berries in taste.

  Weekly tasting group #051; Bordeaux blends (By me @ BD): You can smell the eucalyptus from a distance. Cassis in the nose as well. Same on the palate. Very ripe black fruit juice, a lot of sweetness, ok acidity and bitterness, a lot of sweetness again. There is some freshness as well, but overall the very ripe and very sweet impressions are not very interesting.
