I can only concurr with previous ratings: this is absolutely, stunningly good and young. Tasted blind, you wouldn't give this wine half its age! The quality is very good, but that of a good village wine. What is really amazing is how well still has kept, still full of tertiary, dark notes of root, damp earth, truffle. Just lovely. After being opened for over one hour, the wine starts to feel a bit tired, but I guess this is only fair.

Perfectly mature, with textbook notes of soot, cold smoke, pencil shavings, blackcurrant, tomato leaf. Silky smooth, drink up now, over the next 2 to 3 years to enjoy the fruit that is still present.
