First glass straight from the bottle tasted very closed and woody. Got much better after 1 hour in the decanter. Nose : tar, old leather, autumn forest with hints of dried violet and blackberry. In the mouth, the tannins are powerful, but now well rounded. Intense fragrance of leather, tobacco and hints of autumn leaves laced with violate and blackberry. The wine appear still quite young and powerful and can evolve further. However it is now a great treat.

Very pure nose of griotte and raspberries with very small hints of autumn forest soil. In the mouth, the fruits are fresh and pure, hints of graphite, minerals, and a touch of autumn forrest provide additional balance and complexity. Concentration and definition are perfect. Very nice wine

Intense nose of vilet, liqorice, leather, tobacco with hints of game. In the mouth, the wine is at perfect maturity. The initial flavours of leather and liquorice yield to layers of dried violet, confit blackberry and hints of autumn forerst which provide great complexity. Aromas are very pure and perfectly balanced. What a great wine ! Tasted with anice rosated goose at Yong Kee VIP
