Popped & poured, consumed over a period of three evenings. Good red and dark fruit, red cherry, black currant, blueberry, blackberry, light vegetal notes, light bell pepper, earth, light chocolate, some cedar, graphite, and spices, with good acidity, ripe, round tannin, and very good length. On day one, popped & poured there is a huge hole where the mid-palate should be, before the wine re-emerges with a long, fruity finish. On day two, the wine is juicy, driven by graphite and sour blue fruit, if still with the same huge hole in the middle. On day three, however, the wine has fleshed out a little in the middle, but the tannin and a light astringency starts to show on the finish. The wine has good concentration, and very good complexity, but only average structure, and a weak mid-palate. A vintage that drinks well early and should be consumed over the medium term. 90(-)

醒酒两个半小时,深宝石红偏紫色,闻香有石墨,雪松,草本植物的青味,香料混合着香草气息,入口酸度中高,酒液咸,单宁紧致,颗粒细腻,酒体中等,青椒,石墨混合着奶油香气,漂亮的酸度展现出不错的结构感,余味香草奶油。做得非常工整的一款酒,香气经典,口感平衡,表现中规中矩,中后段稍微有些平淡,后劲略有不足,我本对它有更高的期待,在“不错”与“好”之间就差那么一口气。
