Rich, blood and leather with plums, cherries and tobacco and hints of violets, lavender and raspberries. Fine grained tannins and good acidity give a nice finish. An elegant powerful wine that is ideal with a good steak.

Son nez est ouvert et complexe : floral...notes de lavande et de violette, pot-pourri, bleuet, épices à bois, cacao, cigare avec ses cendres et torréfaction. Un vin riche et fruité, corsé avec des tannins fins. Saveurs de fruits frais...bleuets et mûres, et de cuir. Rond...petit velour. Longue finale sur une pointe d'amertume. Meilleur avec le repas...boire d'ici quelques années encore. 92++

Not excited by this, dark colour still looking fresh, some plum and chocolate on the nose, quite smooth and reasonably fruity but nothing distinguishing and not much length, can't see this improving much if at all, had a couple of hours decant and tasted the same at the start as the finish ? So while presenting differently from the first bottles no real improvement.

My fourth bottle of this wine and none so far have shown that well, maybe the last two with more time will improve ? Not much on the nose forest floor red berries, dried red berries and a sort of leather/oak with some acidity in the mouth and some length, overall not up to the price paid the last two will prove or disprove that.
