  Medium deep garnet.
  Aromas of cassis, blackberry, heather, thyme, coffee bean and singed wood.
  Vital finely grained tannins. Cherry acids and chocolate bitterness.
  Palate of blackcurrant jam, black raspberry, chocolate, roasted hazelnut, fudge and serrano ham. Medium body.
  A fresh, vivacious and rather elegant wine with lively yet complex fruit, structured acids and a fairly long oaky finish.
  Tasted alongside Bosquet des Papes, Cuveé Tradition 2000 and the present wine has generous fruit, toasty oak but lacks in depth and minerality.

  At it’s full maturity and maybe just past it’s prime now. Decanted for 45 minutes. Tannins are very relaxed yet integrated. There are nice layers of dark red fruit, brown spices and cacao. Smooth silky medium to long finish.

  Very nice almost spicy nose of cloves and dark cherry, slight blackberry. Very nice fruit forward flavors, red fruited flavors of strawberry which evolves into more floral flavors (rose?), some balsamic flavors, low acid, no discernible tannins, still very fruity, medium finish. This is drinking very nice right now. If I was a better taster I could probably describe it better as it seems like it has some complexity.

  Dark dark dark! Very good and pleasant, incredibly robust and balanced at this age. Happily surprised!
