This just never seems to open up and reach the vintage’s potential. Decanter for an hour then drank with honey roast gammon. Some red fruit and mushroom on a quite muted nose. Colour mid red. Good acidity and still quite tannic but not a lot else going on on the palate. Can’t fathom this wine out at all.

Served blind. Getting more corked the more time in decanter. Somehow, just somehow, a friend was able to get the domaine, vineyard and vintage correct on a corked bottle...

Dark red, with tawny edges. Nose dark red fruits with a hint of mushroom. Berries on the first tasting, still a lot of tannin and good acidity, long finish and slightly severe. This feels like it needs longer in bottle or the decanter, but doesn’t seem to be fulfilling its potential at this point.

Popped and poured, although really should have given this some more air. Pretty shy on the nose with wound up red fruit. Structure is firm but not overbearing. Regardless, I'd wait another 5+ years on this.

this wine is tasty, medium body, red fruit forward with a touch of hollowness in the middle. May be time to drink up.
