Inky. Fruity, pleasant nose. On the palate I get red berries, some tannins, good acidity. Initially It is however out of balance, but four hours of air does wonders. I guess however it will evolve positively.

This wine is really coming together. Beautiful nose with fruit, lavender and earth - like walking up to the Dentelles! Full-bodied, rounded tannins, integrated...wonderful! I have one bottle left, and I guess I will keep it for 2-3 years - at least. Really a wine for the patient!

Bret and Dark Berries on the nose. More pronounced on the palate. This is as integrated as it will get - at it's peak. The alcohol is too high for me.
It's time to drink these.
Caveat - I don't mind some Bret (this has too much).

Despite its age this was still drinking well. A very nice wine.

Not in check, inky and cloying on the palate. Needs age and less oak.
