Reserved and reticent on the nose: Some horsey notes, iron, blood, dry figs, leafy too. Quite elegant (!) and fresh on the palate. Guess that's the vintage shining through. Very enjoyable, a true dinner wine.

Not very good on the initial attack. Needs air because I first thought it was a wrong bottle. Not very nice Poopy nose (and not the nice stuff from Rhône or Loire) and rotten. Dry on the palate. Just not nice. I improves a little bit with air and food but still no more points than 76/78

Past peak unfortunately, still lots of structure with no fruit left. Very green notes and old-school dirty winemaking, and not in a good way.

Full bodied and juicy cassis. Firm tannin, acidity and good bitterness. Not very open at the moment. Will improve with 2 - 3+ years of ageing.
