C’est bon (évidemment avec cette appellation) mais a encore besoin d’un peu de patience en cave car ça demeure d’une simplicité due à la réduction aromatique. La texture est parfaite: soyeux et fluide. Attendons quelques années pour que le nez et les arômes rattrapent la texture.

First bottle opened was corked. Decided to open another and the second bottle was excellent. Exhibits a slight raspberry, light fruit nose. Good dark fruit flavours, soft integrated tannins, good length. A medium weight wine with great expansive fruit on the palate. Color in the glass still light ruby red. Drinking well and I believe will improve over the next 5 yrs minimum. May not wait! I opened this to gauge some of the negative reviews I have read about this wine. Glad I bought this and still have some. I would buy it again. No ladybugs here!!!!

Épaulé 1 heure. Bcp trop jeune mais je voulais y gouter. Le vin n'est pas à sa place à ce stade. En plus, il y a des arômes tertiaires. J'espère qu'il évoluera bien mais j'ai quelques doutes. 89-90pts

A Birthday Celebration (Taste 222 - Chicago IL): Black and red fruit with spice aromas I enjoyed. Less exciting flavors are similar but lighter styled, and seemingly underripe in the middle, but with a bigger finish. Good overall, but disappointing for Grand Cru. I don't own this wine, but would cellar for at least 5 more years and hope for better harmony.

a little herbal, seems it could have used a bit more sun.
