Dense dark fruit nose. Full palate of dark berry fruit, hints of mint and pine, finish is savoury, salty, meaty, with fine sandy tannins. All concerns about green astringency (per previous note) are gone - now in excellent balance.

*Almost* a really really good wine. Dense, burly, with an attractive balance between concentrated fruit and earthy notes, but with an unattractive astringency, a sort of sappy bitterness at the very end which I had hoped would go away with time but hasn't so far at least...

Ouverte et bu sans carafe et un peu trop chaud. Très beau nez sur le cuir, le tabac et les fruits noirs. En bouche, ample mais assez bien équilibré. Des mures et du tabac avec de beaux tannins rond et une finale longue sur les minéraux.

Much like previous notes. Dark berries, licorice nose. Nice wine.

Very dark red. Apparent nose of dark berries, chalk and spice. Great fruit on the palate. Soft tannins. Good lenght. Very nice and drinkable wine.
