98 Points

Friday, January 9, 2015 - Was that really a purple meniscus I saw and was that raspberry on the nose or was it all in my imagination. 14 years old and still youthful though those aged characters are starting to creep in- cedar,mushrooms and manure. Otherwise the wine offers up blackcurrant of course, cherries, cafe au lait and roses. Full bodied and elegant this wine is made in a classical style. More open that a recent bottle tried. I would drink this wine without reservation now. Coravin first pour. Drunk at 16 degrees C. Best after in the decanter for 1/2 hour. Riedel Bourdeaux glasses.
