  Beautiful bottle at this price. I guess it has passed it’s peak time or in the ending part. Offered on and off beguiling nose of great burgundies. Smooth and round, bright red berries, leather, herbs, hint of cigarette and dark chocolate and a bit grasp. Sweet spot, a pleasure.

  Light and refreshing, nice acidity, aromas of cola, black cherry, raspberry, fresh-cut grass, and green tomato. Finish is pleasantly fruity but not particularly long. Great with the meal...

  Opened with a little pepper note as it was so young, but this very quickly dissipated. Hints of mineral, flowers and red fruits on the nose. Light bodied with very pleasant white cherry notes, excellent minerality and nice tart finish. As it opened over the night (shared this at a holiday party), the finish developed into a silky earthy note that blended nicely with the fruit on the mid-palate. Probably going to order a few more bottles and will be very nice with a few years.
