Decanted 3 hours prior to drinking. The nose with some red fruits at the beginning but then changing to soya sauce. On the palate the tennins have already gone, acidity very light. Also lots of sweetness on the palate which can be explained only by the hot vintage 2009. To be drun immediately!

This wine needs time to decant, I only waited 30 mins. Nose: lots of moist tabaco, oak and cherry notes. Palate: at first bitter, lots of tannins, oak fercly present, lots of acidity and dark cherry present. It developped in the glass and soften then acidity and oak, more Fruit. 2009 is a bit young, should wait or maybe go with 2007-2006.

A bit closed when opened up. Really came through after two hours in caraffe. Good tannin structure, nice fruit, earthy. Half a bottle was left (forgotten) until the next day and was surprisingly fresh 24 hiours after opening and decanting.

Aromatic and complex, cherry, withered fruits and flowers, toasted nut and scorched earth nose. Rich and rounding; savoury with a sweet-centre; long, smoky/spicy finish. 5/5

My go-to by the glass at Cafe Armani. So easy to drink...
