Cedar, plum, perfume, hints of vanilla and plum on the nose. On the palate, smooth, medium to full bodied, well balanced with red fruits and a hint of flowers, spice and minerality on the finish. Very nice wine, but still far too young. Give this another 10 years before it starts to enter prime time. If you can't wait, make sure to give this ample time to open up. After 3 hours, this was drinking quite nice.

Deep purple in the glass. Oak, dark red fruit, hints of cedar and perfume with a bit of sweetness on the nose. Medium bodied, soft, ripe red fruit, plum, touch of floral and spice on the palate. This is an incredible value from a top vintage in Bdx.
Drank from Magnum. Needed 30 minutes to clear off some funk. A beautiful orange rim in the glass. Opened up with a nose of green pepper, spice, leather, cedar and cigar box. Tannins are smooth and integrated with some earth and forest floor on the palate. This is just at the right time to drink.
