Tom Cannavan January - 2011
Tom Cannavan
Fresh, vital, very youthful nose with spice-flecked deep black fruits. There is a meaty, earthy depth to this, with that animal, quite sauvage note beneath the plush fruit and spice. The palate is in a fairly tough grip of the structure at this stage, with plentry of tight, sinewy tannin and an orangy grip to the acidity. The finish shows that this has harmony and all the components to age very gracefully. One to revisit in a few years.

A mature Bordeaux red. Expressive on the nose, very Bordeaux, cigar box, smoky notes, plums, black currants, a poem. The palate is perfectly ripe, with fine-grained tannins, superbly elegant, fresh, delicate red fruit, perfect acidity, lively yet radiating tranquility, and a long finish, this is a picture-perfect Bordeaux. Drink by 2030+

It reflects the Gruaud style of the time. Virile, it is a wine built on power and endowed with real charm.

Advanced color. The nose offers an aging bouquet dominated by cedar and red fruit. Entry into soft mouth and the wine develops with great taste and with tannins. Structure falling a little in the final. It's a shame. Drink up.

Mid ruby. Light nose but attractive sweet, mellow fruit. No tannin, or hardly any, and the mellow fruit has not yet faded. But it's far from a blockbuster.
