  • Magnifique bouchon, très long, qui me procure un étonnant effet de piston (en gros, il refuse de sortir, l'air ne pénètre pas !). Bon signe.
    Pnp. Beau nez profond du cabernet-sauvigon, fruits noirs, tabac et cuir, pas excessivement intense. En bouche, fraîcheur, juste ce qu'il faut de tannins, alcool non sensible. Longueur moyenne.
    Mais contrairement à ce que j'attendais, les arômes ne se développent ensuite ni dans le verre au fil des minutes, ni dans la bouteille au fil des heures et des jours. Le vin devient même amer. Trop vieux !
    À boire sans tarder, et dès l'ouverture, sans décanter - si j'en juge par cette boureille, en tout cas. Il vaut donc mieux être plusieurs, autour d'un bon plat de viande.
    Un peu déçu, je ne note pas pour ne pas déparer - ce serait 89.

  • Aired for 1h in décanteur. Beautiful place right now. Beautiful presence of red and black fruit, on the way to dried, but still present. Smoke and leather, with a nice finish, medium plus. Extremely pleasant if you love old claret

  • Needs an hour in the decanter to open up. Austere an classic claret. Great nose with blackcurrants, cigar and dark chocolate. Black fruit and tobacco on the pallet. Medium finish with soft tannins. Like this alot.

  • Like another recent bottle from a different source, this example suggests a wine on its downhill slope. There’s still some mixed berry fruit on the nose, but the aromatic profile here is really more about leather, mahogany, grilled nuts, and tea. The palate doesn’t really pop, so it’s best served with dinner.
