Tasting Notes
A rather odd nose yet with some pretty, floral red fruit. A bit of a weird, confected fruit cocktail, with rather severe tannin.

Lots of lush, succulent cassis fruit, good meaty depth, fully flavoured, perhaps not the most complex. Drink 2017-27. Steven Spurrier, decanter.com
The deep purple 2010 Grand-Puy-Ducasse offers up aromas of plums, blackberries, cedar and cassis, and has wonderful depth and layers of flavour on the palate. A big, dense and full-bodied style, this is a wine with generous fruit and a fairly long finish. asianpalate.com
Mid crimson. Some sweetness and purple fruits. Trying perhaps just a teensy bit too hard but this should certainly give pleasure. Just a little short after the sweet start. jancisrobinson.com
