Not very terroir-specific but with loads of generic Medoc character: young looking; blackcurrents, tobacco, and a touch if leather; nicely integrated - still enough tannins to keep it going for a while. Good food wine!

A lot of bottle variation with these - the best have been excellent. This one was very good but slightly muted. Youthful looking - quite dense with very light bricking only; classic claret nose of blackberries, vanilla, pencil shavings, and a hint of old socks; balanced with tannins till present but unobtrusive.

Probably a little too old now but exceptionally developed and layered.

What a beauty. I bought this a few years ago at a bargain basement price and put it in the back of the cellar and forgot about it. I wish I had another one. This wine is gorgeous. A classic mature Bordeaux at its peak. This wine can easily stretch it out for another decade. Notes of cedar and tobacco

Holding up well, light cherry, mineral, needs to breath (24 hrs+)
