Opened for 3 hours. Color is deep ruby. On the nose: Pepper, blood, violets, black olives, cassis, cinnamon and plum. On the palate: Cassis, pepper, beef blood, tapenade and violets. Luscious mouthfeel and very long finish. This is a baby and probably needs 10 years to fully develop. It’s fabulous now but I expect it will be resplendent in 5-10 years.

Opaque dark ruby colour. Currant, toast, vanilla, cinnamon, and rare beef on the nose. Very dry palate with massive tannin and extract; olive and pumpernickel toast flavours; smoky mineral and dark berry finish. An angry baby for having been woken up so early. 5/5

Really beautifull, to wait a minimum of 8 years again and more than 20 to drink it at his best
