Un vin arrive à son apogée mais avais besoins d'être légèrement décanté. Le nez était assez discret mais la texture en bouche était vraiment très soyeuse. Nous avons encore de beaux fruits en bouche avec encore une certaine fraîcheur. Beau produit.

Decanted for about an hour before tasting. Dark purple core, pink rim. On the nose; a little dark plums, but sadly almost undetectable behind a veil of vanilla and charred wood. On the palate; medium bodied and fairly austere. There’s structure to last, but no supporting fruit (which in turn makes the oak stand out like a sore thumb). Drink up! I gave this wine a 90 point score just over two years ago. It might be that my current lack of enthusiasm reflects the fact that it’s on the decline, but most likely an increased and higher averaging sample space is to blame.
