Exceeded expectations. A pretty wine with a floral and cotton candy sensation in both the bouquet and palate. At the same time it is wonderfully rich and sumptuous. Round, with nice weight and good balance, this is ready to go.

13.5% alcohol. The bottom section of the cork breaks up upon extraction; the rest is easily pulled out by the usual method of inserting the corkscrew at an angle. Decanted an hour ahead. Good colour with some fading but no sign of ageing at the rim. The nose is very Merlot-ish, broad but not deep and lacking in zip. The mouth is similar, although there is a commendable acid kick in the finish. Good mouthfeel. I seem to tolerate the wine better than on the last occasion, but it remains too oak-infused for my taste, as well as lacking real character and individuality. A crowd pleaser, in fact it comes across to me as a wine manufactured to a formula. What were you thinking Monsieur le Comte?
