Decanted for 4hr, drank over another 4, red and black fruits, significant tannins smoothed out by the end, more age worthy than the Prestige. Needs more bottle time like the Fleur

Ugg. Corked bottle. A flash of fresh fruit then within seconds the nose changed, muted. I guess reaction to oxygen. Does TCA do that? It got worse and worse.

A good bottle this time. Love the chewy tannins- they just keep going on and on. Same notes as first bottle. Wish I bought a whole box. One bottle left, will open it in 7-10 years.

Some barnyard, dark red fruits, medium/full body. Missing depth of flavor, and balance… 90

Strong, concentrated but just a bit too ripe raisin like. I prefer some rosemary or liquorice in Southern Rhone.
Drink young before it loses freshness.
14.5%, cork.
