A wine I've been wanting to taste for years, turned out to be quite a treat! With a complicated nose packed with truffle, tobacco, cherries, wet earth and fresh herbs, the texture was smooth, soft easy to drink and like. There was good concentration of flavor and a clean, fresh, sweet, earthy red berry finish.

- Ruby color with a medium finish - Still alive and showing quite well. A little volatile acidity that blew off after a few minutes. Overall a cool wine from a great vintage.

an absolute treat to try next to the 98 trot, thanks charles! the color was remarkably young, and the nose quite nice. unfortunately, the palate couldn't maintain such levels, but it was far from disappointing. mild soy, spice (!), and black tea, mature/integrated tannin, moderate finish. drink.

Enjoyable upon first glance, but palate hollows with air time. Somewhat sterile fruit. This bottle wouldn't have aged well from here. Drink now. 90-
