Better on day 2…more rounded. Aromatics of cherry, spice cake with floral notes. Palate is all dark fruits with refreshing acidity and fine tannins. I could be crazy but this bottle has a bit of effervescence to it, which I confirmed visually. Uncharacteristic (which is why I scored it a the way I did) but not detracting from the enjoyability of the wine.

Un nez de fruits noirs, assez profond. Le vin semble un peu sur la retenue, beaucoup moins ouvert que le 2009 bu il y a quelques semaines. À attendre ou c’est 2012 qui joue des tours...

Alluring expensive nose, quite deep, still hints of oak. Rather dark fruit. Full and rich, but with some structure in the finish. I will keep my next bottle for a while, but no crime to drink it now. Quite long and concentrated finish.
