Brick red. Burgundy aromas more than Beaujolais. Also some stone minerals and garrigue. Tart and tender in the mouth, with good intensity and length. Fully mature, but will last for many years still.

This is an absolute stunning wine, and quite possibly the best "bang for your buck" I have ever drunk. Incredible, incredible, perfume. Joy at the back of a beautiful woman's neck. My wife instantly said smells like perfume on a beautiful, sexy woman!! Once I was able to get my nose away from the glass and taste the wine I was again wowed by perceptions of sour mashed succulent red fruit cherries, game and game blood, and rock dust. This is a juicy, succulent, dazzling wine!

This just wasn't that interesting. I did not like near as much as the 2009. This wine was quite tart and really shallow on the entry. The tannins also stayed too long in the mouth to where that was the only thing I can remember about the sips I had. Bottle was not finished.

This is lovely. Good depth without weight. Lifted finish. Pretty perfect spot. Wouldn't wait much longer.
