  Burnt orange peel nose.
  Cherry and plum fruit. Still fat with extract. Long, lingering finish. Very tasty.

  Excellent bottle. Ready for business from the get go with a floral bomb of fresh strawberries and cherries. The tell tale cabernet franc / merlot combination gave away that it was CB as we drank it blind. Fantastic and welcome break from all the Burgs recently. It performed very well against a Roumier Vougeot.

  This bottle was unfortunately slightly oxidized. The fill and condition overall was excellent, but oxidation took away a good bit of the beauty that this can have.
  
  Nose was oxidative, but offering plum, leather and herbal notes. Palate opened to deliver some plum, sasparilla, clove and sweet baked cherries. But the browning elements did not fully go away.
  
  Enjoyable, but not a fully correct bottle. No score as a result of the oxidation.

  This was a perfect bottle. Singing. Mature bdx but still in good place with plenty of fruit jumping out. Mixture of ripe raspberry overlaid with herbs and tobacco. Maybe even Menthol flavored tobacco ! Medium bodied. Loved this wine. I have 4 more left …
