On it's own: Quite young, a little tannic, tight, green but lots of potential here. Quite an obvious cabernet franc note here. With braised beef in onion: much more open, very good, hints of much greater Bordeaux. Still young, good fruit, spicy. More merlot-like now. Afterwards and it tightens up again. This needs more time. ... 8 days later! (transferred to half bottle and stored in fridge): Much more open but still fresh and fruity (strong cassis). Not a hint of oxidation. In fact the tannin is still perceptible when drunk on it's own. These 2005s look like they could live a very long life!

Dry, traditional style. Everything in its rightful place but this absolutely needs food.
