Not so very expressive bouquet, but there is some anise. On the palate green apples and mild citrus. Dry. Ok wine, but I will not buy again.

Beautiful bouquet with some stable smells and ripe dark as well as red berries. On the palate a mature wine with red and dark berries, herbs, laurel and licorice, good acidity and still some sticky tannin. The wine is ready now, but there is no real hurry.

More complex and juicy than the Lilian Ladouis of the same vintage. Beautiful oak, blackberries and other dark berries. On the palate dark berries, coffee, licorice and beautiful oak. Good acidity and firm tannin. Full bodied and a great length. Better wait until at least 2028. 91 – 92+

Red berries, herbs, dark berries and oak in the creamy bouquet. On the palate a beautiful and (due to the vintage) elegant wine with dark berries, vanilla, leather, mild acidity and supple tannin. Give it a few more years of ageing. I think this will be a delicious and elegant wine around 2027. 89+ for now.

In the bouquet dark berries, oak, licorice and leather. On the palate juicy dark berries, firm acidity and tannin, which is nicely round. There is some ok bitterness and a good length. Beautiful wine which needs more cellaring. Try around 2030. 91 – 93+ for today.

Beautiful bouquet with dark and red berries and some autumn impressions. On the palate juicy dark berries, some licorice, leather, good acidity and length slight touch of sweetness and a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. Beautiful and elegant wine which is in its maturity stage, but has enough power for several more years.

The elegant and complex bouquet shows dark berries, cedar, eucalyptus and beautiful oak. On the palate juicy dark berries, good acidity, a touch of sweetness and round tannin. The wine is in fact already in a beautiful drinking stage, but no problem to cellar it for another 5 years, although I wonder if it will really improve.

Beautiful bouquet with dark berries, oak and cedar as well as some toast and graphite. On the palate the same impressions, some toast and tobacco, good acidity and mild, still slightly sticky tannin. Good length. The wine is in a nice drinking stage, but there is no hurry at all.

Extremely dark color. The bouquet is beautiful with dark berries, beautifully dosed oak and cedar, vanilla and still some lactic impressions. On the palate dark berries, licorice, vanilla, beautiful acidity and round tannin. A beautiful and complex wine with a beautiful balance between acidity and sweetness. I would not be surprised when this wine will be the wine of the vintage in 2030. 94 already. Probably useful to know; I poured the wine in a large decanter 12 hours before drinking.
