Wednesday, February 23, 2011 - This is marvelous! This is beautiful! This is elegant! This is shining at the moment!

It's been a year I didn't touch this bottle! I'm glad I try one at this stage, although a little bit tight at the beginning, but after 15 minutes sitting in the glass, it is absolutely shining! Very deep nose of stewed red fruits, cherries, very sweet and little bit of smoky alluring French oak, this is indeed what I'm dreaming of! It is absolutely delicious! Very dark very deep red in color, almost purple! Very fresh! Nearly full bodied, mouthful of rich red fruits, sensational! The bottle state this is a 14% alcohol drink, but I never spot it and I don't detect any greenness like others did! To be honest, this is a little reminder of tasting a young, energetic, fragrant elegant vintage 2000 right bank Bordeaux, it is nearly that good and attractive! And there is at least a good 10 years to go in my opinion! But if you have a case or few bottles, you should really consider to give it a go, I think you will not regret it and this is my case!

The wine making team of the Chateau did a superb job! Spot on! Bravo! Looking forward to try this again!
