  Earthy bouquet offers some soy, beef stock and then more floral top notes. Similar flavour profile to the palate. Still a fair amount of dusty - and drying - tannin that renders the wine a little rustic; might resolve with more time but I suspect it'll never be silky.

  Over 2 nights. This showed the vibrancy of the vintage and the simple rusticity of the appelation. It also showed a good deal of imbalance. The 1st night it was similar to a recent '99 Gallois Combe Aux Moines in its juicy, over-ripeness and still showed a good deal of finishing tannins. The 2nd night it was almost cloyingly sweet. Some good elements but not working at least presently.
