  The wine shows pale red color.
  In the nose, the wine shows fully developed profile. Its earthy, with dried fruit, green bell pepper notes right in the middle, red currant, thin spice frame, almond, a few bitter stalky notes.
  In the palate, the wine shows medium body, dissolved tannins, earthy, thin oak frame, nutty, a touch warm, a few balsamic notes, medium body and finish.
  A Bordeaux from the 00s ageing in such a typical manner !

  September 16, 2022 - We have had a long journey with this wine starting back in 2008 ( Papies 90) and happy to see this at its best after rating this 92 in 2019.
  This is now at peak and is the wine we have been promised all these years ago and shows very well why prices of it have been creeping higher.
  Very much the elegant wine, well matured now and with an old school classic edge, dark fruited, soft herbs, less leathery more on the fruit still albeit well secondary . Very solid 93-94
