Good wine. In my opinion, still young. A very nice nose that brings to mind a shot of oak, with black and blue fruit. It is developing quite nicely animal notes with dark chocolate and black truffle paste. In the mouth, it has massive, muscular structure and it is very exhuberant. Flavors are consistent with the nose with the additional remark of menthol and green mint notes and before i forget to mention mineral scented. Maybe I will try another other bottle in 2 years to see how it is doing.

I love this wine. One of the best of this year. On the nose an infusion of complex mineral aromas over very dark fruits. In
addition black peppercorns notes with nuances of red and green pepper and a strange but plesant note of nail polish. In the
mouth, very tasty flavors of red berries, flowers and again minerals. Very structured wine ( a bit too tense ) with nervy
tannis that soften up with time in the glass. Strawberry finish. Overall a superb wine.
Food match: It was delicious with roasted chicken and a side dish of chick peas with rice cooked with vegetables and curry
and curcuma spices.

Excellent wine. Opens up a bit shy and closed. Then develops intense notes of cassis, peppermint and animal and smoke
nuances. In the mouth, very structured with a lot of muscle. Still quite young and tannic at 6 years of age. Flavors in the
mouth remind me again of peppermint with cofee and candied orange notes. In addition, red and black berries. Needs another 5
years to be ready to drink. At this moment, it is good to drink but it becomes tiring after 3-4 glasses.
