Herbs and minerals complement brambly fruit with just a hint of barnyard and leather, it is still pleasantly fresh and has plenty of life left. I'm sorry this is probably my last bottle, but it's hard to feel bad when a $15 bottle offers 18 years of pleasure.

Strong vigorous drop, tabac melted into black fruits, no sign of overage, could go for another ten years

The year of the heat wave. Deep garnet with just a slight easing of colour at the rim; dense nose of prunes, blackberry juice, and tar, with hints of liquorice and rubber; tannins are fully assimilated, though still present. It will loose the acidity first. Good now but won't improve - like Pamela Anderson in Barb Wire or The Hoff in Sharknado 3!

Nov 23rd, 2015A great wine! Kept this in our cellar in France for 7 years and just brought it England this month. Gave it 2 weeks to settle, which was pretty restrained... Absolutely love it: slightly watery to the rim but densely dark cherry throughout; nose of morello cherries, fine Madagascan pepper, and a delicate blackcurrent sorbet; lovely integrated tannins and enough acidity to bring it all together. Not hugely complex but delicately rich and long. My perfect weekday wine!
