  Brownish/garnet in colour. Acidity is waning ... not flabby but losing its ooomph. Balsamics and oxidation creeping in. Left a few years too long. But still okay to drink. Showing some red berry fruits, dried red berries, tannins are minimal and not really noticeable. Not very complex.

  Impressive start then dissapointing. Rewarding nose showing maturity but when in mouth the fruit is saying bye-bye although some oaky tannins are still present, too low acidity!

  Decanted for almost an hour. Nice nose, very cherry, even the cores and a few bitter almonds. Development is around the corner, with hints of bresaola, mushrooms and spice. Also wet rocks and herbs, and a pinch of earl grey tea. Tastewise it's un-sweet with light to medium concentration, slightly dilute. The acidity lacks sharper focus, and the tannins are a bit drying, maybe on behalf of the oak. Not very long, it anyway finishes pure, mineral and cleansing. A good enough food companion with our chicken roast - it gains some roundness and spiciness with more air - without ever reaching real 1er cru quality. Question is, will it get better? Perhaps worth the wait to get some more tertiary notes in a few years...

  Cherry and a slight cherry cough syrup aspect; a little black fruit, black tea, touch of anise, wild cherry (cherry "sauvage" sounds better!)--reminds me of an Oregon Pinot. Silky but slightly dilute entry, then gets more concentrated with medium intensity in the end; fairly ample dry tannins; great medium body wine with good structure.
