  This went very well with cassoulet. Still on the young side, spicy, with moderate+ acidity, better with food than without.

  PnP. Medium translucent, no bricking. Nose of red fruit and wood. Fine-grained tannins. Dark fruit taste. Lots of life still.
  
  + 1 hour: darker fruit on the nose. Tannins smoothed out. Taste similar to PnP. Very nice.

  Ready to drink and confirming the outstanding quality of the vintage. Charming nose, of cassis, pencil, tobacco. Medium bodied, with mature, though still fresh red fruit, leather, plum, ink and mentholic notes on the palate. A fair companion to red meat dishes requiring a typical Bordeaux. Drink now over the coming 3-5 years.
