February 17, 2013 - Deep ruby-purple color; nose has medium intensity, red fruits, cherry, slight VA, fruits are ripe but still fresh; palate shows medium-full body, juicy red fruits in the forefront, well integrated tannins provide just enough structure to the midpalate, fruits penetrate through the entire length, still a bit primary; finish has good fruits, medium length. This is a well made wine with bordeaux typicity, more primary than the 99 Peby Faugeres tasted alongside it, more in reserve, but also potentially slightly less balance (riper, maybe very slight VA). Very enjoyable now, may improve over the medium term (4-6 years). 89-90
Update: Largely the same after a few hours of air. Nice, enjoyable, but nothing special. 90.
Day 2: The half bottle remaining did not hold up well. Well on its way to oxidation.1 person found this helpful 4,201 views
