Very dark. Black fruits in abundance. Lots of fruit. Then a bit mean on the finish. (JR)

Moderately saturated bright red-ruby. Aromas of redcurrant, tobacco and musky game, with a strong leafy, herbal component. Offers moderate fruit intensity and density but comes across as a bit lean and green, even pinched for the year. Finishes slightly green and dry, with decent length. Lacks the dimension for a higher score.
Mid crimson. Perfumed. Sleek and polished and very Margaux. Dry, slightly green finish. Definite green notes on the end. Hard work. (JR)
Not the deepest colour. Sweet, spicy, glucose sort of nose. Very vaguely inky. Then quite tart and with some drying tannins. Not too exaggerated or alcoholic but not the most mellow. Fresh finish. (JR)
