May 9, 2023 - Que c'est bon un bordeaux à maturité.
Bouchon : impeccable, non entamé !
Robe : Noire avec des reflets orangés sur les pourtours. Des larmes grasses coulent le long des parois à l'agitation du verre.
Nez : Sur le café, le chocolat, un peu de vanille, une légère odeur de sous-bois. C'est vraiment très bon et on y revient.
En bouche : On retrouve le café et des fruits noirs. Les tanins superbes sont fondus. On prolonge le plaisir avec une très belle persistance.

May 5, 2023 - Not much there - no fruit, no tertiary aromas. No cork, but far over the top!

May 26, 2022 - Bouchon de très bonne qualité, non entamé.
Robe : noire avec un disque orangé, reflétant son âge.
Nez : sur les fruits noirs, le sous-bois, le cigare blond. Très très agréable.
En bouche : les tanins sont fondus. On retrouve les fruits noirs. Très belle longueur.

February 15, 2021 - impeccably stored, this was in the perfect place right now. seamless tannins, with a deliciously decadent core of black fruit and spice. The beginnings of maturity with leather and cigar, yet so much life ahead. I only wish i had more
