Seemed tight on opening with strong mineral and metal with a touch of black cherry. After a few hours it had smoothed out but was light on cherry and very thin.

Took a while to open. I decanted it, but after five hours, it was still pinched and kirschy, so I left it. Four days later, after two further tries, it finally opened properly, revealing a more appealing mixture of dark cherry and blackcurrant, quite silky and stylish, but still a little pinched and tannic. It certainly needs several more years in bottle and for the difference in price, I would rather have a Léoville-Barton any day.

Curiously disappointing. Some initial black fruit but disjointed and lacked oomph. Perhaps suffered in comparison to the 2006 Leoville Barton which we tasted alongside. I'll be drinking my final bottle very soon.

Bu au resto AVV Bistro La Fringale de Granby. Un peu fermé, assez ample et corsé en ce moment. Beaucoup de matière. Des mures, des cerises, de la terre et du cuir avec un peu de chocolat. Les tannins sont charnus et la finale hyper longue est aussi bien persistante. Encore très en forme et jeune, sera mieux avec encore un peu de cave.

Académie des Cinquante Tasting and Dinner with the Académie du Vin de Bordeaux (Restaurant Entrepot, Amsterdam, NL): Walkaround tasting, brief note. Very similar in style to the Léoville-Barton, perhaps not as complex.
