  This feels a bit gritter in texture than some more recent vintages of this cuvée have been, but it also doesn't seem like it was the right time to open this. It starts out having a pretty cool profile considering the vintage, which is usually more generous, but once it stretches it legs it develops that intriguing carved-off-the-side-of-a-mountain minerality that my favorite vintages of this wine have exhibited. Unfortunately it reached a point where it started going backwards in the glass, and in the last half of the bottle some raw wood character had come to the foreground. Combined with the somewhat boxy construction it wasn't all that much fun after that.

  - Brick color with fast forming legs. It's balanced with a medium/full body. Bright texture with a long finish - Was concerned that it may have been passed it's best but was pleasantly surprised. Decanted for 2 hours. Lots of dark fruits, red cherry, lovely acidity and lovely balance and long finish. Beautiful wine.

  Ruby red; nice full bodied nose of red currants, cherry, pomegranate, light green notes, unripe tannins?
  The rest = pucker up!!!

  Decently rich and ripe but has some good leanness and body to it. Floral on the nose with ripe dark red fruits. Showing no signs of its 10 year with plentiful freshness and liveliness. Balanced acid, stretching palate presence with round and rich fruit. Lots of character and class with some glossiness in the mouth. Terrific stuff, wish I could find more.

  The Salon's first lab (Mirabelle Restaurant Austin, Texas): How can a village wine better a grand cru......well, if it's a Dujac..... A favorite of the twelve tasters and an over-achiever, a village wine that ages well, with a very nice bouquet, and floral. Balanced, round, elegant, with a soft mouth feel, it seemed feminine. Had notes of cherry fruit with some spice, nice acid and tannins. Still developing but enjoyed by all.
