Après une grosse déception il y a quelques années (le vin était fermé à double tour), voilà qu'il se livre enfin. Fruits rouges, épices, fleurs...le nez est complexe. Bouche d'une grande finesse, tanins soyeux. Longueur moyenne. Un vin tout en délicatesse qui semble avoir atteint son apogée.

Good wine. Nose with hints of sweet tropical blossom mixed with raspberry. Great palate, I like the bitter tones just before the finish. Good acidity and tannins makes this a lovely wine.

This is really gaining weight and structure even compared to a year ago. I keep expecting relatively little given the vintage but this is still firm and very well structured.

Well, the day was tough and i went to the cellar and thought i was pulling a completely different wine. You can imagine my surprise when i went to score this wine and saw its standing among Vougeraie. Well, besides committing infanticide this wine was incredibly beautiful. While the nose and palate were slightly muted it was purse silk and elegant on the palate with balanced red fruit, soft tannins. The palate was fairly light in weight with good texture and just the right acidity on the finish. This wine needs time obviously but in many ways i'm not so upset i opened accidentally today. Besides my wife and i had some wonderful things happen the last few days warranting a celebration. Now on to the Salmon.

Pale ruby color. Medium nose of strawberry, cherry, sweet spice and violet. High acidity and fairly tannic although the tannins are fine. Medium intensity palate. It's a very good wine with potential for aging.

Spicy nose with lots of fruit and roses. Light bodied well balanced wine with soft ripe tannins and a touch of blackberry and (!) red berries. Good tension with minerality. Fruit and acidity in harmony which bodes well for the future. Charming and drinks well now but save for better days.

Very pale but a nose of surprisingly dark fruit and with good weight and texture. Good wine for vintage and drinking well now.

Lacking some fruit on the nose. A little flat sweetness with some spice. Needs more time, promising palate. To sharp finish in my opinion.

Pale, elegant and sufficiently ripe. Enough balance and stuffing to go another decade. Just starting to drink well.
