Aged red/purple fruit, wood, earth, softened quickly in glass. Quite nice on palate, a bit muted nose--little fresh fruit, rather a natural extension of aging compared to last bottle now several years ago--I'd say waited a bit too long to have this remaining one. Finished a day later and it was now more towards prunish side of fruit. Drink up if you've any. Not rating as it was fine and enjoyable but not prime.

Robe soutenue de couleur grenat foncée. Bouquet invitant avec ses notes animales et de sous-bois, fruits confits; l'équilibre est impeccable vraiment une belle surprise. Bouche minérale, gourmande et dense il a tout ce qu'il faut maintenir ce niveau pour encore 4-5 ans. Un millésime que j'adore car il filtre les terroirs à travers le vin. Du très beau jus et tout un RQP! Un petite touche de rusticité qui impacte quelque peu le pointage. On va attendre 4-5 ans pour la dernière.

Really firing on all cylinders. Dark purple with slight reddish tint. It smells floral from a foot away. Wonderful viscous mouthfeel, black cherry and mineral/saline and a nice long finish. Sadly, my last bottle.

On the dark fruit end of the spectrum. A bit clunky and unfocused. Better on day 1, showing some bitterness on day 2.
