BBQ & Wines (Oegstgeest, NL): Intense dark fruit character, more thick, well drawn together lots of presence if not more Le Moine in style than Les Amoureuses.

Fullbodied wine in nose and taste. There is however too much wood present at the moment, making this wine not very drinkable for me. It will take some time to integrate this wood in the wine; I am not sure whether there is enough fruit left for this to happen.

The nose was very flagrant, much nicer than the Drouhin '07 and Pascal Lachaux '07. The oak might have slightly overwhelmed the silkiness of the wine on the palate by a tiny bit. This wine will most likely improve with more aging and be a better wine than the other two '07 when the oak integrates better with the fruits. Tonight, it was not as ready as the Drouhin, so I gave it a 92. But this is probably will turn into something better in a few years.

This is stunning! Rich but elegant nose. Very complex: smoke, tar, meat, roses and violets. Balanced palate: lovey red fruit sharpness and acidity. So delicate... Superbe lenght and minute long finish.

The acidity is getting low to balance the fruits. Much better than the last time and bitter finished has gone. Would be very good from 2014.
