  Please let me lead with I'm a huge fan of Lafarge and I really enjoyed this wine, well balanced with dark red fruits, slight sous bois with med acidity and fairly well integrated tannins. Drank this over an hour as part of a tasting. I would think with a little more time this would develop even more, really lovely.

  Started somewhat thin with a slightly acidic finish. Gained body with airtime. On the delicate side for a Lafarge Ducs.

  Medium ruby, some translucence at the edge. Beautifully savory, with suggestions of spice, orange peel, and a touch of pleasant earth. Lovely balance, with excellent acid backbone. Highly enjoyable on opening, it seemed to add weight on the second night. (Thanks to CK.)
