We knew the theme, but all wines were tasted fully blind.
Beautiful and mature with good garrigue. On the palate still some cherries and raspberries, juicy still, also herbs and spices like thyme, rosemary and sage. Some leather and tobacco. Mild acidity and tannin. Beautiful and mature wine.

The bouquet shows a fully mature wine with tea, still some cherries, plums and cinnamon. On the palate some kirsch and pepper, but also rust, chocolate, autumn forest and mushrooms. Good acidity and soft tannin. Still ok, but don't wait too long. 88 - 89

Beautiful and intense perfumed bouquet with cherries, smoke and game animals. On the palate a very juicy wine with cherries and raspberries, some licorice, leather, blackberries, herb and spices and beautifully fresh acidity and soft tannin and some pleasant sweetness. This will deliver really nice drinking over the next 3 – 5+ years. 92 – 93

Beautiful and complex bouquet with dark berries and cherries, smoke, mint, animals, and beautiful oak. On the palate juicy dark berries, herbs and spices, some pleasant sweetness and soft tannin with a pleasant bite. Overall a full bodied wine with a lot of structure, length and a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness.

In the bouquet a complex wine with chocolate, tea, earth, soy, celery, earth and autumn impressions. On the palate the first impression is that the wine is not a 100% fresh, but there is juicy fruit, some chocolate, good acidity and soft and ripe tannin. I did not score the wine.

Special bouquet with some metal, soy, tea, celery, thyme and red berries like raspberries. On the palate the wine shows maturity; soy, figs, dried fruits, brown spiced biscuit etc. Firm acidity. Still beautiful and complex, but there were some doubts if this was an off bottle. No score.

In the bouquet dark berry fruits and dried fruits of all sorts as well as garrigue. On the palate juicy dark berry fruits like blackberries, coffee, chocolate, some pleasant sweetness, good acidity and beautiful tannin with a pleasant bite. Good length. Beautiful wine in its young maturity stage and it will age well until the mid 2020's at least. 94 - 95+

In the bouquet red and dark berry fruits like raspberries. Cherries as well. Also a lot of herbs and spices. On the palate very full bodied, juicy dark berries, licorice, eucalyptus, chocolate, a good balance between juicy acidity and sweetness, slightly drying tannin and a great length. Beautiful wine and a pleasure already, but certainly a great pleasure over at least the next decade. 94 - 95+

The first bottle we tasted tonight was decanted early in the afternoon. Our host was curious if this early decanting had seriously influenced the way the wine tasted, so he took another bottle and we tasted it popped and poured. And indeed; the bouquet was much more youthful and did not show any tertiary impressions at all. Also on the palate this bottle was much more youthful and fresh with juicy fruits, good acidity and soft tannin. This second bottle scored 94 – 95.

In the bouquet some minerals and yeast. Same on the palate. Soft citrus. Pleasant and clean, easy going wine.
