Rich ripe red cherry, creosote, spice and herb, cigar and firm dry tannins still gripping on the finish. Cork was branded 2017 indicating this was likely recorked at the winery before release. Excellent wine with life in the tank.

Ohh que c'est bon ca ! Une abondance de fruits noirs avec un nez de sois-bois, pot pourri. La bouche est suave, hyper bien équilibré avec des tannins pratiquement absent. La touche terreuse est superbe, c'est du très bon jus ! Difficile de déposer son verre. Magnifique vin !

Superbe bouteille bue à pleine maturité, après quelques heures d'ouverture mais sans carafage. Beaucoup d'énergie pour ce vin dense et profond qui dégage de belles notes tertiaires.

Opened and decanted at a local restaurant. Immediately upon opening it was so fresh and giving but 5 min in it shut down. It took 90 min for the wine to start revealing itself. These wines always seem to have incredible balance. This was no where near as polished as the 1982. This wine is at least a decade out from its prime. Important note- you cannot over decant this wine at this point so I would suggest 4-6 hours prior to drinking but 10 would be better…

A bit shy and could have benefitted from decanting. opened and consumed over the course of two hours.
Full fruited and rustic. A great example of the region and the what can be done by skilled hands.
