Deep garnet with mild bricking and a clear watery rim. Expressive nose of dark red fruits, sweet tobacco, and a hint of forest floor. The palate is full with medium acidity, gentle but firm tannins, and a tart finish of medium+ length. Certainly better than expected based on previous reviews. Perhaps the extra years of aging were beneficial. Drink now through 2024.

A bit of burnt rubber on opening was gone by the second glass. Transparent ruby red color. Red fruit. A bit tart. Decent, but not complex. Modest tannins, short finish.

Beau peit boire, pas complexe mais un beau fruit, du chocolat, des tannins serrés et une finale souple.
