Very closed and took its time to open up. Classic Cabernet nose with rather oaky aroma. Vibrant and young on the palate. Dark fruit and a bit high acidity makes it fresh but I think this should be left for another 5 years.

Drinking well now but still some upside. Strong Cabernet character, some noticeable oak. As time goes on this is revealing additional things, mint, leafiness, tobacco, cigar box. Glad I have another bottle, I’ll probably wait until 2028+ for that one.

Nez classique, en retenu, principalement sur le cassis, la cerise noire, la boîte à cigare & une lèvre impression de poivron vert grillé (ou du cèdre)? L'ensemble est encore en un bloc. La bouche est assez large & structuré au départ, principalement sur le fruité foncé perçu au nez. Ensuite l'acidité prend le relais & apporte une droiture à l'ensemble. Les tannins sont encore bien nombreux, bien enrobés, la finale est sur les épices & des notes amères agréables. Encore tout en jeunesse... Je sais que 8 ans c'est jeune pour ce type de vin... Mais aucune début de "fondu"... aucun signe d'évolution...

This has filled out nicely since I first tasted it in 2020.

At this moment and after decanting still wood glue. Horror. Same for all bottles tastes so far except for one. Three flawed out of Six…
