A bit of a serious wine with decent aromas of blue fruits, chalk, a bit of stable, blackberries and cassis. Its well oaked medium bodied a bit foursquare lightly saline blue, black and red fruits palate has good freshness, length and tannin. 13%. Drink in 5-10 years. Needs 2-3 hrs aeration. 91/92. I have the 2003 at home. A good food wine. I had this with a nice rump steak done rare in pepper sauce and this was a perfect match.

Intense and seductive aromas with this slightly rustic overtones with a tighter fruit tone of blackberries, a little stable, graphite and deep salt layer that creates complexity. Good full-bodied and pronounced fresh wine with this slightly coarse rusticity that teases in the middle with great fruit of blackberries, blackcurrants, graphite, salt layers, licorice, leather and wood on a tighter, but excellent finish. Nice acidity and very nice tannin structure. This can withstand a good 15 years.

Dark and brooding on the nose with earthy, mineral, smoky, dark fruit notes. Quite tannic and grippy, rustic in a good way. Ripe fruit, quite pure and bright, minerality towards the finish. 91-92+

Dark, spicy and soft textured, there is fresh blackberry and cassis with accents of licorice and espresso. The wine is medium bodied and bright, leaving you with an earthy, red berry finish.

醒酒两个小时,深紫红色,闻香有青味,醋栗一类酸果的香气,还有一些奶味,入口酸度中高,单宁紧涩,颗粒细腻,酒液咸,收口微甜,青椒和石墨类香气为主,中等酒体,状态还有点封闭,后段有点短,感觉到一些酒精感,余味以奶味为主,酒体紧实,结构坚挺,还需要进一步醒酒才能有更多表现。建议陈年。
