Tasted blind. Expressive nose. Barnyard and hung meat, dark berries. Slightly saline, notes of gentle black pepper, great cote of dark fruit. Was better than the 1998 Cote Blond by Rostaing.

Monthly Boys' Wine Night (Eric's House, Hong Kong): Translucent red-ruby. Nose has a nice 'warm blanket' sense of soft, welcoming warm herbs and plump half-ripe plums. Palate is still tight, acidic, tannic and seems young. Not decanted beforehand, which may have been a mistake.

Tasted blind. Ripe fruit, black olives, barnyard funk. Very smooth and balanced if on the masculine side. Very good and still kicking.

At the beginning lot of thyme and olives. Getting softer after 1hr. Still feels young and fresh. Raisins in the nose. Red fruits, nice length.

Last bottle of this is gorgeous. Beautiful aromatics . In the mouth it's fresh and precise, with nice acidity, spicy and juicy.
