Bought en primeur. Well stored. First bottle. 0,37. Dark red. Coffee and roast aromas predominate. A bit of fruit. Great mouthfeel. Thick, mouth filling without being heavy. Well integrated acidity. Medium length. Very good. But not great.

In the secondary stage with truffle and earthy nuances. The fruit is just starting to fade, so catch it quick, before the remaining sweet, red fruit fades.

Moving into its drinking window now. Popped and Poured, a little air helped. Nose of fruit and graphite with a touch of spice. Medium body. One of those bottles that you look at in an hour and ask where did it go.

Another great performance by one of our favorites. Nose of black currant and honey. Thick palate, with prunes and unripe blackberries giving a sweet note. Smooth sandalwood transition, finish medium length, black berries.

Bought a case to lay down based upon the 2005. This wine is all structure right now. Nice complex nose but limited fruit. Some dark cherry and tar on initial taste. Opens a bit after a couple of hours, cherry goes sour the tar intensifies and a touch of spice comes on. Hot, dry finish. Try again in two years.
