The wine looks brick colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like prune, stoniness, espresso, light toast, vanilla, lead pencil, black pepper, violet and tobacco. It tastes like raspberry, black currant (cassis), dust, flint, lead pencil, vanilla, oak, Herbes de Provence and chocolate.

The wine looks brick colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), gooseberry, fig, forest floor, flint, mushroom, coffee, lead pencil, medicinal, sandalwood, bark, black pepper, clove, eucalyptus, oregano, wet wool and barnyard. On the palate....black currant (cassis), dust, forest floor, mushroom, stoniness, cut green grass and stems. So much going on here. SO long and luxurious. Looking forward to the 2000 up next from my cantina.

Nothing special here. Had it after a domaine des lises hermitage. Maybe that was the issue, followed excellence with this
