Après 2 heures d’ouvertures, belle finesse, pruneau, cuir léger, en pleine maturité. Aurait pu s’ouvrir encore. Pas encore tuilé, les tannins sont complètement fondus. À boire sur les 10ans à venir.

Decanted for four hours. First bottle of a case. Nice fruit but not that complex - some tannin evident still on finish. I think could use some more time in bottle so will retaste in a year or so.

This bottle was still very much alive and dynamic. Vibrant crimson color. Bouquet of stewed fruit and leather on the nose. Plump ripe plum and berry on the palate. Very rich and elegant. Tannins fully resolved and not evident. Drink immediately.

Not much complexity, rather boring, disappointing

Decanted at Niku. Perfect bottle of this wine. Peaked at about 90-120 minutes of air.
