I tried this a couple of years ago and it was in better shape now. That said, this is still classic Faiveley and needs more time! Clear medium ruby. Barnyard nose. Oak. Licorice on the palate. Let this rest a few more years.

Bright red and crystal clear. Still extremely chewy(my number one memory) and tannic. I found this surprisingly tight and hard. Almost like the alcohol and wood are still at the forefront. Had just started to soften after 4 hours

Winos' excellent adventure in France; 6/22/2017-6/27/2017 (All over France): Very youthful nose with only a hint of sous bois emerging, sweet red fruit with a hint of black, cinnamon and earth. Good concentration, still showing a bit of “Faiveley” old school dry tannins and a medium to long finish. This will need another five to ten years to reach the peak. Really nice showing.

In a great spot right now. Classic “bloody” CdB red with plenty of iron and some nice, mild rustic funk. Long finish.
