Very dark red plus color. PNP, drank a couple glasses over 2 hours plus. The nose starts off nicely with menthol notes, sandalwood, cassis, dried herbs and black raspberries. The palate is medium-full bodied, showing that elegant side, though not as much as other bottles from this vintage; wood, minerals, cassis, black cherry, cassis, graphite and still firmish tannins that do caress a bit more over the two hours. This is quite good, though it still benefits from somewhat generous amounts of air. 92+ to 93pts.

From Mag, tannins fully resolved, very elegant, decent but not great vintage, drink within next few years

红色水果和木香交织,甘草、烟丝和一点潮湿灌木的森林气息。入口单宁细腻,酸度立体,展现出圆润丰满的健康感。结构均衡而不宏大,随着醒酒展现出更加坚实内敛的质感,在丝丝石墨香气的点缀下,打造出古朴而有风骨的个性。遗憾的是持续力一般。
