    May 4, 2024 - Bu avec les FOUDUVIN au resto AVV La Suite de Sherbrooke.
    Beau nez envoutant sur les fruits noirs, le santal de la fumée
    et un peu de coconut.
    En bouche, belle acidité et super beau fruit.
    Des mures, des cerises noires, du chocolat,
    de la cannelle et un peu d'anis.
    Belle intensité et profondeur avec des tannins lisses et
    bien intégré.
    Immense finale bien longue et voluptueuse.
    En a encore beaucoup sous la pédale mais se boit super
    bien en se moment.
    PS: Un bon coup de carafe de 3 heures a été bénéfique, il s'est
    ouvert et assagit ce qui laisse présager encore un bon 15 ans
    d'évolution sans problème.

    April 29, 2024 - Still needs a decant though 23 years old. Lots of fruit remains with layers of smoke and bits of bell pepper and dill with plum and cherry fruit

    April 26, 2024 - Excellent, drinks very well with decanting, a classic. High acidity, wet forest and dill notes, layers of flavors with air.

    March 26, 2024 - Consumed over 3 days. Showing relatively young, easily a decade of life ahead.

    March 24, 2024 - Needless to say this is a very mature wine now. Some bottles will be better than others.

    Even so at minimum I’ve found it to be a balanced gentle wine with considerable length.

    12.5%! Cork.
