Deep garnet red with brick edges. Tons of tertiary notes on this wine, truffles, mushrooms, soft dark fruits, plums and damp leaves. Moderate tannins (5.5/10) that are very well integrated and medium bodied. Well rounded and mix of soft plums and blackberries on the palate. A bit of dark cocoa, damp earthy notes and a slightly vegetal finish. Quite a bit of acidity. Medium finish. Drink now.

Still alive and kicking, with fine tannins and medium-low acid. The fruit is a little dried and caramelized, but some nice earth and cedar notes. At a party, it went quickly and people enjoyed it.
