A fantastic wine and one of the highlights of the event. Rich with nice fruit and complexity great finish. Does not feel at all old and I think that this would still benefit from a few more years. Great with the steak and Cambozola.

Cinnamon, ripe cherry fruit and smoky bacon on the nose. Cherry moving towards dried cherry and a slight pruney character on the palate led me to believe this wine has peaked, at least this particular bottle. The fruit was drying out ever so slightly. The tannins were firm and the wine balanced by still fresh acidity and stoney minerality. A solid wine gracefully fading.

Great rich fruit, classic Drouhin acidity, cherry and minerality. Great finish.

Light red with brick edge. Somewhat frail, and never shed the bottle stink entirely.

Over the hill. Used it to make a mushroom pasta.
