Tasting notes

Deep brick-red colour. Evolved and typical Bordeaux on the nose with hints of blackcurrant, lead-pencil and stable. Medium bodied petit-Bordeaux in the mouth. Quite good concentration. Evolved fruit. Light complexity. Some blackcurrant, stable. Traditional Bordeaux. Medium acids. Dry and still a tannic end that may outlast the fruit. This is drinking perfectly now. Use it with food. Very good indeed.
