  As my notes of March 2022 and 2023. Drinking well after a couple of hours to open. As before, the high extraction was evident. The fruit was a little less sweet but still very attractive. The balance was good and it was excellent with roast fillet of beef. It was still improving 5h after opening - it still has life ahead (if stored well).

  Decanted 30 minutes prior to drinking. Ate with croque monsieur (smoked ham, bread, mustard, cheese).
  Very dark almost black colour.
  Fragrance of cherries, dark fruit (blackberries, cassis), but also chokolate, coffe, and toffe/vanilla. Smoke.
  Taste of oakbarrels, dark cherries, and even stronger coffe. Also smoke continues. Medium to long aftertaste. Full body.
  You can feel both Malbec and Cabernet. But also some Italian hints (cherries).
  Drink now.

  6h after opening this was drinking beautifully. No signs of decline. It showed all the positive qualities we found earlier. It has years ahead, yet.

  Je souscris exactement à tout ce qu'écrit Johnrm ci-dessous. Ce vin a une robe pourpre sombre sans trace de vieillissement, il s'améliore peu à peu à l'aération et supporte sans broncher quinze jours de bouteille ouverte. Cerise noire et griotte, épices, fruits noirs, tannins doux, fraîcheur, complexité et longueur satisfaisantes, il a nombre d'atouts.
  
  Conclusions :
  1- ce vin a encore au moins 10 ans de garde devant lui
  2- facile à trouver en France dans les supermarchés vers 20 euros, il mérite d'être essayé, à tout le moins
  3- dans son état actuel, à décanter IMPÉRATIVEMENT, avec plusieurs transvasements -- et si possible attendez-le, bouteille ouverte, plusieurs jours
  4- pour éviter tout malentendu, l'étiquette devrait indiquer en gras : VIN DE GARDE. Ou même, sans forfanterie : VIN DE GRANDE GARDE.
  Hélas, ce n'est pas à la mode.
