  Nez des plus expressif sur les fruits rouges sucrés et les épices qui nous plaît instantanément. L'attaque en bouche est tout en rondeur et confirme que le vin entre présentement dans une jolie phase mais les tanins, bien que polis par le temps, font leur apparition en milieu de bouche et nous montre que la structure et la générosité de la matière de celui-ci aurait encore besoin de temps pour se fondre pleinement. Le tout s'étire dans une finale de bonne longueur sur un fruité noir et des notes minérales. Noté 88.

  Rock solid delicious, though it needs a 30 min decant to take some of the nerve off. Perfectly resolved fruit and tannin profile; earth but extremely fruity.

  Le vin est désormais dans sa coquille, comme plusieurs 2005. Cela lui a pris près de 2 heures avant qu'il n'en émerge, offrant un fruité beaucoup plus expressif et pur, dans un ensemble d'une densité comme on a en a pas vu dans les millésimes subséquents. À laisser reposer jusqu'en 2012-2013 au minimum.

  No decanting prior. Young garnet color. A chorey is starting to decline at this point. This one was doing fine, with cherry and beetroot aromas just piping up. There's a slight acidity that's typical in this wine, again cherries and beetroot, some soily funk. By comparison, the 2007 I have is more acidic, and isn't as giving at this juncture. They're still great producers, and I generally pick up their wines blindly when I get the chance. The fruit is still fantastic, yet primary. Think about drinking these within 2013.
