Still surprisingly young. Bold dark fruits , a bit of oak , tannins still present and drying palate . Consumed with a filet of beef and shiitake mushrooms with black garlic purée . Wine paired well due to its strong structure , yet it was a bit closed showing that it’s in a dormant period . Still has a good 5 years to go for ideal enjoyment .

Fabulous value. Deep and rich. Excellent balance with plenty of ripe, dark fruit and cassis. Delicious. Wish I had more... would have lasted at least 5 more years.

Deep, deep purple. It would have been hard to guess this was a ten year old wine, but for the tertiary flavours. Graphite, pepper, and herbs, backed by a massive core of cassis. I really liked this one. Should last many years. Wish I had more to try 5-10 years from now.

Bien mais un peu faiblard, poussif, néanmoins raffiné et intéressant. RQP -1

De mémoire, beau vin,
les tanins sont fondus sur des arômes de chocolat. Grande finesse.
Les convives ont été déconcertés par ce malbec.
