I've sampled a bottle every year since my original purchase in 2009, waiting for it to mellow and improve. At ten years in, the 2016-17 samples were much better. More well rounded, fruity, some earthy tones are evident and it's quite nice to drink now. Notes of blackberries and currants with nice after-tones for finish.

Vin intéressant, gardé en gave quelques années. Sans être un grand vin, il offre un beau fruit de mûres, bleuets et figue. Belle rondeur en bouche, belle longueur.

Light fruity and cherry body. Tasted 4 days later and this has rounded nicely - improved from 87 to a 90.

Cherry, spice, green pepper, and mocha flavors with fine tannins. A little hot on the nose.
