D+0h: high-quality cork (not a pressed cork), a tiny bit of deposit in the filter, a big chunk and some deposit spray in the bottle, smells of blackberry and blackcurrant D+4h: purple red colour, smells of blackberry, raspberry, leather and in the background of dark chocolate, dry, but not in a harsh way, smooth in the mouth, medium body, in the mouth blackberry, leather, raspberry and dark chocolate, in the aftertaste raspberry, dark chocolate and acidity, good length (30 sec), really good red wine for the price.

A really enjoyable wine that I will get again. Excellent price point too, have scored it as high as 88 before, but this bottle, maybe due to age, storage or setting an 82 this time.
Certainly showing some of it's age, duller, less brilliant in colour and a little more muted overall.
Red currant, blackberry, anise seed on the (muted) nose. A wonderful palette of wet gravel, dusty, petrichor, cranberry, pomegranate, red berries. Surprisingly given the muted colour and nose there's a hint of a youthful, green, vegetal palette.
Definitely still enjoyable.

Un joli vin si on ne s'attend pas à un mini Musar. Du fruit noir (prune, cassis), de la réglisse, des épices douces tant au nez qu'en bouche. Tanins souples. Longueur appréciable. Bcp de corps fruité. Oui bcp de dépôts....

Fruits rouge épicés au nez. Belle attaque encore sur le fruit et les épices. Finale un peu rêche. Correct sans plus.
