Old bottle left over, drinking very nicely with that aged balanced complex profile. All that primary fruits resolved nicely, if I recall correctly. Glad to have left it alone. — 5 months ago

Nose: some funk. Blows off. White flowers.
Palate: sweet fruit. Mineral. Good. Well made. Not too wooly.

An oldie left from Gordon’s and the little Bordeaux is drinking so nicely, even on day three in Eto and the earthiness of day one is not as prominent but the ripe fruit mineral nose and balance and complex palate the same. Deal! Last one! — 8 months ago
Medium deep ruby , pink rim , quite intense , with coloured tears noticeable . Quite closed but deep dark fruited , serious but compact nose , with touch of dark chocolate , grafite , blackberry , dark plum, cherry . On the palate more dark fruits , blackberry , dark plum , cherry , quite rich with dark chocolate, grafite nuances . Balanced acidity with quite gritty tannins . Slightly mineral and saline tinged on the medium length finish , with just a slight warmth from the alcohol noticeable . Certainly ambitious for a Castillion Cotes de Bordeaux , though unsurprisingly makes no mention of this on the front label ! This shows quite young , will improve over another 5 - 7 years and last a further 5-10. — 3 months ago
Funkiness just to the edge but not beyond in my book. Otherwise a decently balanced profile on the rustic side. — a year ago
