  Truly a great wine! Absolutely delicious now but with many years to go.
  Nez : épices, sous-bois, écorce, silex, floral ainsi que de cerises confits. Un vin fruité...saveurs de tarte aux bleuets, même liqueur aux bleuets. Corsé, rond, ample avec des tannins fins. Équilibré et structuré...complexe. Longue finale sur des notes de chocolat noir. 95+

  Deep, rich blackish purple red colour with clear meniscus. Bouquet of rich black fruit with a peppermint background. The palate is deep, rich and very lengthy with abundant bilberry, black current, vanilla and mint. Great balance of gentle acidity, firm tannins and mature oak. Superb wine with another decade of life ahead.

  Really nicely made. ~Complex darker fruits. Some menthol. Nice spice.

  Wow!
  Decanted for about 2 hours
  Dark, rich, reflective.
  Dark chocolate, leather, wood shavings, tobacco
  Blackberry & dark fruits
  Tannins have integrated well but there is still plenty of upside for this one IMO
  Will go another 10years at least cork permitting.
  Only quibble was that it finished a tiny bit short.
  Big thumbs up.
