  Have had a few of these now and our preferences kind of veered away from the style some years ago, so decided to experiment with aging the last few a bit to see if they calmed down and got a little more interesting. Previous bottle in '18 and here we are in the dumpster fire of 2020, so let's see how 10 years looks on this guy...
  
  Pretty dense, opaque coloring still, with looks like ruby edges. Aromas of black cherry, red licorice, dried meat, some earthy funk, and maybe some darker fruits. Medium body, acid, and finish, with flavors of black cherry, lemon, orange peel, and dried spices.
  
  All in all, I am definitely liking this the best of the bottles I've had. It's lost all the confectionery, youthful, and blowsy qualities that were detracting in its youth, though I suspect it's on the downslope and maybe a bit faded in its fruit for some.

  drinking very well. Strong black cherry fruit, some leather and oak notes as well as a bit of bacon fat.

  Notes écrites quelques jours après dégustation.
  Nez et aromes de prunes cuites, camphre, thé des bois, chocolat.
  Tanins solides mais bien intégrés (bouteille de 9 ans tout de même...).
  Notes d'élevage agréables, boite à cigare, èpices, vanille.
  Très bon rapport QPP.

  J'aborde ce vin avec un préjugé, je le reconnais.
  Rouge grenat, reflet bleuté.
  Nez moyennement expressif, belle expression, eucalyptus, camphre et mûre de Boysen.
  Bouche généreuse, confiture de mûre, légère sucrosité sans plus, pas des plus complexe, persistance moyenne. L'alcool (14,5%) bien intégré. Bien correct dans un style qui ne me séduit habituellement pas.
