Although very tertiary, still drinking well. Almost no fruit left, mostly dried red and black fruit, some spice, chocolate, dried flowers, earth, some tannin, but mostly resolved, drink up now. Quite elegant and enjoyable

Bought this in France and carried it home in 2007.
Glad I did. A beautiful expression of french earth and fruit coming together. I did't decant this one, usually do. Opened for 2 hours prior A joy to drink. I would take this to a blind tasting any time.

Quite structured and deep. Black fruit wrapping a plummy finish. A more intellectual CNP, this did not totally appeal to me, but I also thought this was simply not yet ready. I would tend to hold this at least five more years.

Tasted at domaine and brought one home. Game and dark fruits on nose. Balanced and still good fruit on the palate. Good length. Can drink now.
