at the home of two dogs, with friends old and new: light transparent ruby-violet, with light separation at the edges. Nose fruity, some hints of baking spice, some earth. Palate tight at first; red cherries, silky texture with nice depth of flavor; some tannins on finish. Tasted blind, guessed very young, surprising to realize this is 21 years old. Rec either decanting or letting it age more. 92 pts with upside

Serious Grand Cru quality here. This bottle is in a great place right now. Dense and concentrated. Dark fruits and dried fruits. Fine tannin. Balanced by savory flavors and good acidity. Yum.

Nice, Brilliant Ruby in color. The nose is balanced and classy, showing dense ripe red fruits, flowers, earth, and a hint of minerals. On the palate, this is almost full in body with a very good concentration to the fruit and earth flavors. The tannins are still protruding a bit, and the are not the most sophisticated, but the acidity is sound making the finish refreshing and long. A very nice grand cru.

Brilliant ruby color. The nose is fresh; displaying scents of dark raspberry, cherry, minerals, flowers, oak and a hint of spice. This is almost full bodied on the palate with excellent concentration and very good class. The long finish features dense but ripe tannins.

Rich, fruit forward and bright at this stage, but not particularly complex, this is a very nice wine. seems sweeter to me as time goes on. Very drinkable today, but with a lot of time to go.
