  Rather soft and easy with cherry notes.

  Salon Focofi Paris walkabout and dinner, so no detailed tasting notes. From DMG. Quite strict, nowhere near the stellar 1998. Good rather than great.

  Fully developed, the wine is medium-bodied, bright, fresh, crisp and offers red plums, truffle, mint, forest leaf, tobacco, cocoa, and herbs on the nose and palate. No decanting is needed, just pop and pour.

  Decanted for 1 hour, monitored over decanting period. Perfect level, sound cork, half soaked. At first, a bit tight and cool with cherry and plum fruit and not much secondary development. Relatively high acid and still some fine grained tannin. As it opened a truffle note began to emerge. Put back in the bottle and vac sealed at 1 hr. During dinner this fell apart a bit. The tannin was gone and the acid sticks out. Still a very nice wine. Well and truly outshone by a 2000 l’Evangile and an 04 Pichon Lalande. I would not put this up against any other big boys due to the slightly weak view rage but this can still develop further but will be more of a lighter, cooler claret like the old days.
