  First time with this wine which was a recommendation of a dinner companion at Atera. It has developed a bit of a cult following and so I understand was at one point quite reasonable to purchase and has since become quite a bit more expensive. It holds up to the new price relatively well though. There's a lot of life to it (sounds like much more life than the previous note - I would say this has another 10+ years easy to it). Perhaps a bit almost heavy or extra fruity and would benefit from a few more years and time. But lovely and went great with the red meat courses.

  For sure one sees the elegance of this wine and purity but unfortunately in the case of this bottle is an elegance of a few years ago. The nose had a light oxidation and a honey/syrup feel and a bit of a let down as in the palate the wine is very soft and elegant fully matured and tertiary. No point in rating

  This lived up to it’s cult status. Great mature wine with impeccable balance. Some spice, balanced oak, cherry. Wow.

  La plus belle bouteille des 3.. largement supérieure aux autres. Le tout est très bien balancé entre le fruit mûr/cuit et la touche tertiaire de poussière avec un peu de boite a cigare.. Excellent!
