  Smooth but not weak. Rich complex aftertaste.
  Barnyard.
  So many things happening at once I can’t keep track of all of them.

  Dark red in color. On the nose lots of leather, salami and smoked ham. Hints of nutmeg, thyme and violets. Taste is very balanced, but (of course)lots of tannins. Smokiness comes back and last forever.
  19 years and still young, what a treat!!

  Slightly corked or at least certainly not quite right. Stripped and inexpressive even allowing for semi mature tannat. Shame NR

  Some development but still a lively acidity and rough tannins. Great concentration and length but the tannins make it hard to drink on its own. It may be me who is a little sensitive though. Rather open on the fruit with currant, black wine-gums, dried plums, tea and dark chocolate.

  Flight 3, South & South West France, Wine 7 (blind): The wine was dark garnet in colour, turning orange-brown towards the edges. It offered a developed nose of dried fruit, blackberry, mocha, leather, tobacco, dried herbs, dried spices, and medicinal and oxidative notes. On the palate the medium-bodied, balanced wine showed dried fruit, leather and tobacco, paired with medium-level acidity, medium-plus well-integrated tannin and good length of the slightly bitter finish. The wine seemed to be at its peak; drink now and over the next two to three years.
