Nose of oak, dark cherry, plum, chocolate, coffee, blackberry, rosemerry. Palate with medium acid, medium grippy tannin, in addition to what was described on the nose, some cranberry sauce with some clove. Some slight evolution of flavors over 1.5 hours, with some mellowing of the fruit brightness and developing some spices tones, but not a major change with time. Quite good, drinking great now. Don’t know it will get better, but has a few years left.

Nez complexe d'épices, de fruits rouges confits, de fleurs sucrées...éventuellement de toasté et de moka. Un vin souple aux tannins fins avec une trame sèche. Riche aux saveurs de fruits mûrs. Umami avec un milieu de bouche aux notes de poivre. Équilibré et long sur des notes d'anis. Très charmeur et prêt à boire d'ici 2023. Toujours bien réussit ! 93+
