  Fruits noirs au nez, touche de chocolat, bien expressif. Fondu, fruits noirs, longueur appréciable. Amertume qui se pointe en finale. Tres bien. Encore beaucoup de vie. Attendre encore!

  Our last bottle from this half case - I would not keep it much longer but there is still genuine enjoyment to be had.

  Started drinking after 1/2 hour decant and it didn't improve over the next 2-3 hours so no need for a longer decant.
  Nose: raspberry, other dark fruit, a slightest musty note (in a good way) that went away fairly quickly.
  Pallate: soft medium body mouthfeel, bursting with fruit
  Finish: fruit fades to pleasant moderate tannins. Mild -moderate acidity
  Overall: seems perfect to drink now! Likely will stand up to aging much longer. As I drank it more and got about 2.5 hours since decant the fruit aroma mostly went away. Still good but enjoyed the earlier pours a bit more.

  Quite a cedary nose despite not having much if any Cabernet Sauvignon in the assemblage. Fruit was limited but there was still life in this wine which demonstrated the quality of the vintage and the winemaking. As I have said before, comparatively good value for a Bordeaux.

  Excellent wine. Seven years since by last notes, and this is holding up very well. Drink now.
