Dujac @ Trompette (La Trompette, London): A lot tighter and seemingly closed on the nose, pretty mute and a touch herbal. Very dense on the palate , padded but holding itself in and together. Opens up to a curiously pruney nose whilst the palate remains dense and fresh. Impressive but needs time to beguile. **(**)

Infanticide, completely opaque in color with slight violet edge. Nose of dark red fruit with violet like notes, shld develop into red floral notes with more cellar age. Now still a baby and bruiser, big yet you wont mistake it as new world, with very good balance and very fine tannins. Loads of stuffings, after 3 hours still unwilling to give much after a decant. Next day much better. Dont open one in the next five years.

Quite rustic with a deep dark fruit. Still a bit tight. This is going to need maybe 5-6 more years to fully develop. Absolute class and not far from Grand Cru quality I think.

Baby killing although the nose was quite open and dominated by wood spice. Ok not in the same league as the 05 CdR tasted a few months ago but this had the goods to deliver something interesting in the future. Revisit in 3-5 years

Second time I've had the '05 MsD 1er from Dujac. On the nose, exotic red fruits, raspberries and spice. On the palate, broad flavors of earth, oak, spice and dark fruit. Big style, with fairly lush texture. Impressive, but I'd wait 5+ (2013) before I'd open one of these.

Very dark and earthy. Very Morey. Brooding in character, but maybe lacking some energy and verve.
