October 20, 2013 - Past prime. Itll open up in bottle after an hour with air then give you a glimpse of what it was for about an hour then go downhill afterwards.
March 20, 2012 - Definitely old world. Garrigue on nose and palate. Nice fruit. A little thin, but good complexity. Not in the same league as the beautiful 1998.
February 20, 2011 - initially closed and tight but decanted for a couple of hours and served with roast lamb - very good indeed - quite fragrant and drinking very nicely - glad we opened this before it got over the top
July 12, 2010 - Drink up now.
February 16, 2010 - This drinking well now with lots of bright fruit, supported by kirsch and exotic spices.
January 31, 2009 - Suprisingly Burgundy like. I think this may last another year or two.
June 25, 2008 - Very impressed, despite poor notices on other (better) vintages of this negociant bottling. Bright fragrant raspberry and violet nose. Medium bodied with good but balanced acidity. Some controlled spice on the aftertaste.
November 25, 2007 - Quite good; I really enjoyed this; A real meaty character to it
October 27, 2007 - Deep plum, clear and bright. Green pepper and hints of blackfruit on the nose. Refreshing acidity, rich grainy tannin. Long and very good.
May 26, 2007 - Très beau nez sur l'olive noire. Soyeux n bouche, quoiqu'un peu râpeux en finale, sur une longueur tannique un peu verte. Concentration moyenne, légèrement acqueuse. Beau produit, mais rien d'extraordinaire à 30$. Cote -
