Expressive, punchy nose of smoked meats, dried flowers and black cherry. Luscious and creamy in the mouth with good depth and power for its level. Drinking well today but plenty left in the tank.

Weekly tasting group #076; 3x Geantet-Pansiot + 12 Bordeaux (@ VD): In the bouquet there are some organic impressions at first and they disappear very slowly. Then mushrooms, autumn forest, rust, cherries and tobacco appear. On the palate quite mature as well, silky soft tannin, some iron/rust and some dust. Still some mature fruity impressions. A nice and fairly complex wine. Ready now or even a bit past its prime. Opinions differed a bit in the group. I scored the wine 89 due to its complexity, but certainly not for its vitality. A bit disappointing for a 1999.

Bouquet with barnyard and good depth. On the palate still very juicy red fruits. Autumn forest. Touch of sweetness. Good concentration and length. A very tasty and juicy wine. Completely ready now.

Popped and poured.
Bright Red fruit (cherry, raspberry), spice, slight earth, floral, good acidity. Really bright fruit. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.
