February 12, 2021 - Opened about 2h before consumption, may be even 2h decanting is helpful. Just 12,5% Alc., deep cherry red with violett reflexes, cloudy. A fine subtle buffered Syrah bouquet. On the palate soft mouthfeel, good balance, very subtle spicy aromas, subtle fruit of cherry and (sweet) raspberry, complex and multilayered, lots of hidden depth, cool and at the same time with a radiating warmth, fine and subtle good length at the finish.
Not a blockbuster but a quiet, elegant and even concentrated wine you have to listen to in order to experience its class. -

January 22, 2021 - Ouvert sans préparation de nouveau !
Etonnamment moins époustoufflant que la dernière fois. Très beau vin mais qui semble un peu moins prêt, avec des tanins encore présents en finale. On chipote, c'est un très beau vin mais il en a encore sous la pédale et se présente un peu moins éclatant que la précédente bouteille. -

Superbe vin encore une fois, magnifique expression, complexité, richesse. A peine plus évolué que la dernière fois, il est sur le tertiare, avec panache. Aucune fatigue, il est parti encore pour de belles années. Très beau vin. Je vais arriver à la fin de mes bouteilles bientôt ... -

October 25, 2019 - Well balanced, slightly over mature, full bodied red with red fruit, vine leaf and green tomato flavours. This bottle infinitely better than last one I drank.
