I don't often write up my other wine tastings, particularly if I'm not impressed, - so you can deduce that I've found a little gem.
This is a respectable member of the Bordeaux 'also ran' club, with wines that trade at around the £10 mark (at auction) for an average year.
Perfectly mature - superb bouquet - full, yet free of rough edges. A tad light on finish perhaps, but one to look out for - great drinking - excellent value.
