  Opened up for a red wine mushroom sauce to put on beef tenderloin. Bought on release from who knows where and in the cellar 15+ years; not sure why I never got to this one. Rather monolithic and firm merlot (90+%) but has nice core of iron, black tea, and tons of earthiness. Fruit is a bit stripped away. Seems actually restrained for a Rolland made wine. This probably would have been better 5 years ago but still holding up OK.

  Limited notes taken. Incredibly intense aromas of cedar, supported by leather, tobacco, black tea, dried herbs, and tomato leaf. A core of black and blue fruit developed overtime as the wine sat in the decanter.

  Still has some nice acid, tannins present but very light grip. Lots of woodsy flavors, dry red fruits.

  Farblich hat sich in den letzten zwei Jahren nichts verändert. Immernoch sehr dunkles Rubinrot, schwarzer Kern, kaum Randaufhellungen - immer noch leicht violette Reflexe auszumachen. Betörende, bombige Nase nach Schwarzkirschen, Pflaumen, Vanille. Am Gaumen druckvolle dunkelbeerige Frucht, etwas Banane. Tragende Säure, tolle Balance - Tannine wunderschön eingebunden. Das ist ein grossartiger St. Emilion in schönster Reife der noch ein langes Leben vor sich hat, es sind noch kaum Sekundäraromen auszumachen. Leider war das meine letzte Flasche aber das Ding hat genug Saft für weitere 10 Jahre...

  I just opened this bottle. I have always had it properly cellared. The color is ruby with some slight carmel on the edges, slightly oxidized. The cork was soaked at the bottom. The nose is off port like. The last review that I see was around 2015 so It appears the wine is past its peak by quite a bit.
