Maybe it was just my mood, but the rustic barrel overtones were so dominant that I really couldn't finish this wine by itself. It was manageable when paired with a very hearty, strong flavored stew, where the rustic heavy handedness found some compatibility.

This bottle wasn’t showing very well. Some unpleasant aged notes of prune and soy sauce. With air, it occasionally showed some flashes of life. Feel like I’d better decant and try my other bottle soon.

Le nez émane le coulis de fruits noirs, la réglisse noire, une note de tabac, et les bleuets. La bouche démontre un jolie compromis entre concentration et fraicheur, sur un boisé fondu, moyennement corsé. Le vin ne manque pas de profondeur et nous livre une chair fruité expansive. Excellent dans ce millésime! 89-90 pts.

Too much old barrel and not enough fruit to balance it out well.
