Polished and light with short length. Slightly acidic and spicy in taste. Easy drinking and great for the price. went nicely with our dinner of red shrimp pasta, sea urchin risotto and wagyu prime rib. Paired better with the pasta / risotto but got slightly overwhelmed by the wagyu. Drank from a magnum.

(at Cabotte - London) Fine - lean not curvy. Fruit is ripe yet balanced with earthy flavors. Not terribly long but solid. Drinking well but will last for years. (91)

Good body & balance, great fruit. Plenty of cellar life left. A beautiful wine from a difficult vintage.

Decanted for about 45 mins before tasting.
Lean, smokey notes, slight menthol, and not very long.
I suspect it’s closed up, so might improve in a couple
of years.

Opened and decanted. Left for about an hour before tasting.
Wine is a brick-crimson color with a clear edge. Had a bit of an oily texture upon decanting.
On nose, clearly shows some age. Not terribly aromatic. Has some menthol, fresh leaf, rum raisin.
On palate, wine is pretty blah. Not much fruit flavor, not much tertiary. Has it closed down? Or is it just not good? Either way, not good.
