SLDS - PR GC: Raspberry, earth, cinnamon, roses and blueberry. Great balance and harmony with lithe, earthy fruit and flavour. Spot on and in the absolute zone for drinking right now, a spectacular bottle of this wine.

Opened with Luc Bouchard in Hong Kong. I am so happy this wine has improved in recent years. Last bottle I opened at Xmas 2010 was "down" and I thought the wine was now shot. It is not! Perhaps just going through a sleepy phase. Anyway, I am happy to report it is in great shape, with a lovely peppery nose as I recalled it, and a good fruit / acidity balance.

Beautiful colour and nose for this bottle sourced directly from Bouchard in 2010. Fruit was intense, but starting to lack structure. Good first wine to serve at dinner. Drink up.

Beautiful peppery nose, deep red fruits, lovely balance in the mouth. At 25y, toward the end of its life, not as powerful as 2y ago.

Had been warmed up during its life at some point most probably... and unfortunately
