Great precision and balance, a little shy on the nose so I think needs a little more time in the bottle. Good potential.

Very active nose but a little too hot(alcoho?) with advance color. Still some tanins and fruit present, but I drink up if you have some.

The wine looks yellow colored. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like pineapple. It tastes like lemon and pineapple. The body is medium/full. The wine has silky texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Dark violet juice with hot mature fruit: blackberries with a backbone of vanilla wood. Great acidity and minerality. Should age graciously. Nice aftertaste. Excellent wine for the price point of view.

Perfectly stored bottle, pnp and served to my tasting group. Everybody agree this bottle of wine is signing right now and probably will be for the next 5 years. Classic Pauillac nose and flavor profile.

Still dark dense and obscure body. Love the minerality and dark fruit profile of this wine. Polished finish. Still young and many years of life ahead on this delicious wine.

Opened yesterday at home and at first note those green bell pepper tones charasteristic from South American Cab wine. Sip two glasses and put it away until today. Boom!!! This wine is in another dimension. Balance eith great acidity and tannins, beautiful left bank bouquet with some green note but in a good way. Nice finish.

Drinking perfectly right now. Pop and pour yesterday and the bouquet from the bottle was intoxicating. Espresso, leather, forest floor, mushroom. Mid palate balanced with pretty decent aftertaste.

I concur with some early note above. Open up and drank over 3 hours period half a bottle. Red fruit notes and herbal and eucalyptus. Note nice evolution of the wine for the period of time tasting it. Still have 5-10 years ahead of live. Love what I tasted and I will buy more if I can.

IMHO I think this is an underrated vintage for this cuvée. Right now in optimal drinking window with beautiful nose of tropical fruits and butterscotch. Nice texture and balance. I will not hold for too much more years so I will drink all I have in my collection.
