  Again really open to drink with bright fruit and good depth. Inviting nose of plum, black currant and coffee. On the palate ripe plum, blackberry, black currant, elderberry, tobacco, coffee and soil. Soft tannins and again a joy to drink

  3.5 years after last tasting note: nothing changed so much. Fully mature, lovely nose, good mix of fruit and terrtiary flavours and a very nice, smooth finish. Lovely.

  Just a bit green, with some gravel fruit to it. Taught and structured. Needs time or needs more flesh?

  Didn't take long to open up on the nose, and an hour in decanter. Quite vibrant colour still with no browning. Initial blackcurrant fruit 'hit' with some supporting tannin.
  Good with grilled lamb and then cheese; even with a fairly robust bleu d'auvergne.
  A very decent claret, but not outstanding, but I would happily drink it again.
  Will happily keep going for a while yet.

  PNP and this opens up straight away with chocolate, blackcurrants and vanilla, though a little too much oak initially. With the rest of the bottle decanted, the oak settled down to reveal a more balanced and integrated wine: red berries, mushrooms and earthy tones. Medium bodied with decent tannins, this is drinking beautifully now and Im not sure it will evolve much in time. There is an opulence to this however, that nudges it towards the modern v traditional for me, but still very enjoyable nonetheless.
  Edit: this really opened up and came into its own after 5 or so hours in the decanter. The last few glasses were more classical in style and fuller bodied. Really enjoyed this.
