  Birthday wine decanted for about 3 hours. Crimson red colour. Dark berry fruit (plums, blackberries) and liqueur on the nose, slight gamey notes. Opens up on the palate to dark chocolate, raspberry liqueur and a rich savouriness. Beautifully integrated tannins, with slight grippiness on the back palate. Full bodied and delicious. Long, lingering finish.

  Bouteille achetée en Primeurs et conserver en cave depuis.
  Ouverte et épaulée 4 heures avant service. Un CdP qui commence à être approchable, si on lui laisse le temps de s'aérer et d'arrondir des tannins encore bien présents. Dans ce cas, le jus est suave er présente une belle finesse en bouche. Bon rapport qualité prix pour l'appellation. 92+

  After 3 hours of decanting, banana and deep berry. The longer it sat, the more interesting.

  Dark burgundy in color. Bricking rim.
  Meaty nose, with stewed plums, iodine, pencil lead.
  Cherries, graphite, loamy notes, with a medium finish.
  Has most definitely matured nicely and is in its prime drinking window. MUCH better than my first bottle consumed years ago. Worked perfectly with the left over turkey dinner.
  
  Oh yeah! MAGNUMS are BETTER!!!!!

  I was disappointed in this. Overly ripe and a bit to hot. The nose is full of dark fruit, but has a pruney note to it; a little bit of spice and herbs come through with air. The palate is big and feels blocky with no balance. Heat on the back end says to me this is likely closer to 15.5 than the 14.5 listed. Unimpressed and wouldn't buy again.
