Tasting notes

Deep brown-red colour. A little pruney nose. Becomes better with air, but not that pleasent. Hints of dark berries, stable, some floral notes. Fullbodied and meaty wine. Fruit seems unfocused. Pruney, ripe. Spill-water. Some fine notes of stable, flowers too. Soft Gruaud with low acids. Light and rund tannins in the back. Fair quality, but far behind 66 and 62.
