  Very drinkable with good overall balance and structure, but did not blow me away quite as much as when tasted in October at the tasting room. Perhaps my palate was off or there was some bottle variation, I'm not really sure.

  opened...gave 20 mins of air. definitely a dirt burgundy vs a fruiting CA style...cranberries, bitters, kiwi, tar, mushrooms...lean and austere...I like it. Don't think this will improve much with age. stored 1/2 the bottle and will report back later. OK...gave more air and time...austere, tannic, fruit fading...not sure this will get better and don't think it was much to begin with. I have one more bottle so I'll try soon and report. sad as I used to love Au Bon Climat.

  Doft: Sirlig, rödfruktig, sval men generös doft av tranbär, blodgrape, hallon och jordgubbar fruktmässigt. Därtill en parfymerad träig doft sandelträ och ett tydligt grönt och örtigt stråk av grön paprika och salvia samt lite sur disktrasa och en gnutta vitpeppar.
  Smak: friska röda bär med grapeinslag, grönörtighet och en lätt träig beska.
  
  Rejält koncentrerat och fruktigt samtidigt som det är slankt, elegant och med tydliga gröna inslag. Komplext och gott som tusan.
