An enjoyable wine with a garnet colour creating a darker earthy tone. Blackcurrants, cedar, earthy & smoky on the nose which is reflected in taste. Medium to high tannins. Very enjoyable & a good example of a red Bordeaux.

A good stable Bordeaux red - easy to get into with muted tones all around: mature red fruit and earth is all there, but subdued. Good on the nose, good on the palette. As such, a good pairing wine with a good red meat dish...it’s not going to knock your socks off, but it is still a solid choice all around.

Not great - lacking ripeness and not much else going on. Came a little to life with duck breast and cherry compote
