Tasting notes

Brick-red colour. Quite pretty and complex nose. Stable, earth, some red berries. Light Gruaud in the mouth. Thin fruit. Just a little bit left. Quite earthy and a light aged complexity. But too little for any depth. The acidity noticable in the balance. Little tannins. Still a touch hardness in the finish. Short taste. Best on the nose. Reminds me about the '73.
