Sur le déclin. Nez encore envoutant de tabac, cèdre, floral, des notes balsamiques. La bouche est svelte, avec des tannins complètement fondus, une acidité nette mais une finale bien courte.

Punchy nose that smells of capsicum, tobacco, green bean and sweet cassis. It is creamy in the mouth with quite luscious fruit tempered by the wine's cooler elements. There's a hint of compost and moss development although the wine is fresh and vibrant. Drinking really nicely with plenty still in the tank.

Dried leaves, leather, coffee grounds, light slightly sweet, tart cherry; medium body, medium high acidity, tannins almost completely resolved, very silky, sour cherry finish with nice lifting acidity in the end. Slightly more mellow the next day making it more even more appealing. Worked with both pork loin and (light) teriyaki chicken.

Past it. Started out with decayed leaves, autumnal red fruit notes and a faint oxidative element, with air this only went downhill.

Beautiful wine. At its peak now. Good oak, fruit and depth.

Good oak, soft and firm tannin. A very good, but not great wine.
