Earthy nose and medium plus in body with medium plus acidity. 

Dry on the palate with nice complexity. 

Showing red and black fruits with cedar, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs, peppercorn, mediterranean spices and chocolate notes.

I've had many different vintages of this wine, but never had it so young. Not as powerful as some other vintages, but already complex and nicely balanced. 

Feels like a good quality Left Bank Bordeaux, and will continue to age nicely, and get better in the next 20 years.
