Dianne Sheridan - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A great wine from the Bordeaux Region. I decanted this wine for an hour.

Extra dry, medium bodied, smooth and well balanced. Aromas of plum, oak, blackberries and vanilla. Strong berry flavours. Lovely smooth berry finish with soft tannins.

Serve with big meat dishes and hearty dishes.

Deep red colour with a garnet tinge. Nose of blackcurrant and rich ripe fruit. Round and fruity, well structured and smooth finish
