March 7, 2015 - Très bon après longue aération... sous-bois, clou de girofle, boisé, fumé, corsé, bonne acidité, thé noir, longueur moyenne... un peu rude sur la fin tout de même...

February 4, 2006 - Was more of an experience than a pleasure. Lots of funk when first opened. Mostly blew off after 1hr. Remaining wine was thin and one dimensional. Lots of age. A bit of fruit. Tasted like it was never a great wine to begin with.
