Finally it is there, the quality! I tasted multiple bottles over the past 8 years, all not exciting and too much overpowered by hard tannins, I am sure due to its youth. Now beautiful: Rich, powerful, fruit, some earthiness, even some spiciness, sweet touch, length.

Slow oxed for three hours. This has a decent nose of black fruit and earth. The wine is quite full bodied for a village wine with substantial heft and while mature now it can age longer. There is lots of ripe black fruits, mushroom and spices on the palate but there is also notable oak treatment here which interrupts some of the terroir clarity.

Just a touch of aging color on the rim. Fruit, some spiciness, round, but not as impressive as last bottle. End is abrupt, short. 90-91

Nez animal au départ. Par la suite devient floral, fruits rouges. Plutôt ample, les tanins sont soyeux. C est fruité et de bonne longueur.
