Nose comes with cooked dark fruits, almost plummy. Reminds of an (overheated) Bandol. The oak ist still present. On the palate, rather austere with a short to medium finish. Goes well with steak, but not a wine to talk about.

Bouteille qui a traîné pendant au moins 5 ans dans un rangement au sous-sol sans contrôle d'humidité, mais sans chaleur excessive (max 22-24 Celsius l'été).
La robe est complètement opaque. Aucune trace de vieillissement. Il en va de même pour le nez et la bouche. On est sur les fruits noirs, le chocolat noir et la torréfaction (Brownies à l'espresso de chez Olive et Gourmando, sans le sucre). Le vin est corsé et les tannins, sans être trop rugueux, sont toujours présents. Pas très complexe. Bonne longueur. Me donne l'impression que dans de bonnes conditions, il pourrait tenir encore plusieurs années.

The appearance is densely red with a black core. One the nose a lot of fruit with flirty chocolate notes. On the palate still very youthful in a full-bodied style with toasted oak, dark berries and coffee. Great acidity and drinkable tannins. I would keep this wine at least five more years before opening it again if I had more bottles.

Decanted for an hour. Bramble and stewed plum fruit nose with a hint of tar. Fruit flavour similar to nose just winning out against an integrated full rustic background of woodsmoke. Enjoyable if somewhat unsophisticated. A pointe for perhaps another 2 years. My last.

Dyp rød farge, lekker bouquet med treverk, litt tjære. Fyldig og lekker smak, men fortsatt mye tanniner. Kan nok ligge 5-10 år til.

Full-bodied, sombre, and heavily toasted, with course tannins and a truckload of wood. Will these bottles ever be enjoyable?

Good. Great structure to age. Nowdays it asks food.
