Overwhelmingly good wine - opened up slowly and revealed black pepper, blueberry and brambleberry on the nose, truffles too - I could have sniffed for hours. On the palate still a bit austere with massive tannins but also a lot of fruit, very long and revolving around the berries, black pepper and so on.....wow!

Well stored bottle. Decanted just before drinking. The deposit is not nice: It is clearly an old wine which needs careful handling. The nose is great. In the mouth, it is undoubtedly a mature wine, very charming, with still quite some power and volume. It is much more mature than the 2000. In fact, it is really time to drink it. I do not think it will improve. But it is really nice now.

Le vin est finissant, dans des arômes très viandeux. Il y a quelque chose d'éteint, de résigné. Mais il y a aussi quelques beaux restes, à condition d'être patient. Le dernier verre était meilleur que le premier.

Bouche tannique, équilibrée, savoureuse. Peut-être un léger déficit de densité et de profondeur. C'est très bon, mais cela ne se distingue pas forcément de produits moins prestigieux. Il me semble qu'attendre plus longtemps est inutile.
