Tuesday, June 10, 2008 - Garnet with brownish hue. This is ageing fast. Smells of a pot of cooked fruits with rabbit stew that has lots of mushrooms and truffles. Whiffs of milk choc as well. The nose is surprisingly complex and opulent. However, it is bordering vinegarish …probably you have to drink now. Alcohol and acidity still holding on ok but dimmering. Strong legs though. Mid palate of cooked fruits (plums and prunes) with Chinese herbs. It is pretty rich stuff with good density and richenss…this reminds me of the Virgin de Valandraud I had. The finish is short to medium and the lack of it penalizes this otherwise good effort.
