Pretty perfume. Lovely bottle development. Cassis, plums. Broad feel.

Right about perfect for this age and vintage. Not a blockbuster by any means, but rather classic and restrained. On the nose cassis, leather, earth. In the mouth, dark fruit, slight tannins, good acid. Medium-long finish. Can’t argue with this style.

Maturing. Cassis & earth aromas. Medium bodied, quite dry palate.

Wine has ruby color with exciting brightness. Nose is very classical but quite easy. There are ripe currant, violets and bell pepper. On the palate light body (med), fine acidity (med+) and ripe velvet tannins (med+).

Classic Bordeaux. Still a bit young, but nice.
