The wine shows beautiful colour for its age Nice ripe red cherry, berry notes, sweet spice notes, paprika, a bit of earthy, cumin notes too, so decadent Very elegant, ripe to overripe cherry notes, currants, again spicy, med body, nice acidity, flavoursome, much fresher than you'd expect, med to long finish Brilliant
The wine shows power, dark fruit, thick oak frame, whole spice, dense, coffee notes, chocolate, some brett (goaty) hints but just enough to call it, decadent again. With more time, the wine goes spicier, earthier, chocolate, gone over to cigar box Palate shows light body, sweet cherry notes, flavoursome, nice acidity, no tannins completely dissolved, there is a big differnece between nose and palate, much more elegant in palate, smooth, med finish
Close to Carbonnieux in style of nose, some stalky-vegetal hints, some red fruit notes, sweet spices, paprika, whole spice notes, black pepper notes Palate is very elegant, juicy red notes, acidity, a bit evolved, dissolved tannins, spice, light to med body, some floral notes, med finish
The wine is obviously corked, but shows great density and intensity in the nose, needs time to open/clear up, then you get red fruit, some sweet spices, coffee and chocolate notes, some stalky notes Palate shows structure, med acidity, earthy, the wines shows buckets of fruit, light to med body, still corked but not so much here, med finish with some tannins too -/- Everyone loved it so much, even though it was obviously corked
The wine shows purity and elegance, fragrant, floral notes, sweet red fruit notes, cherry notes, beautiful and fragrant oak frame, sweet spices, decadent Palate shows elegance, fine tannins, light to med body, juicy red fruit, nice acidity, vibrant, so smooth. Live it more and it opens up endlessly Very fresh and elegant, a Grand Vin indeed
