Çà faisait presque cinq ans que je ne l'avais goûté, c'est de mieux en mieux il me semble. Il fait encore jeune, mais se goûte au top, sans arômes tertiaires ni marqueurs bordelais, on aurait pu partir sur une belle syrah. Pas d'élevage notable, c'est fondu, mais il dispose d'une belle réserve d'énergie. Un grand vin pour moi, la dernière dans 10 ans !

My least favorite of the ‘02 trilogy this evening. The most intensely mineral (a good thing) but showed a bit of overripe character and falls short in the depth department. Superficial. A touch of green on the finish. The nose is promising but in the end the wine just does not deliver. (86)

last of a case This was perhaps the most interesting
double decant tasted over more than one night
aromatic s varied but started typicsl Bordeaux- cedar earth. Palate had resolved tannin but was not lacking body and there was a cool cherry flavor but it evolved. At times there was a capsicum or poblano smell and the fruit became more concetrated 90+

Vraiment excellent. La robe montre à peine quelques traces d'évolution. Le nez est classieux, notes balsamiques, secondaires. La bouche montre encore une vraie énergie, le vin a beaucoup de vie, et plein de temps devant lui, même s'il se boit avec énormément de plaisir en ce moment. Un grand vin.

Very pleasant touch of raspberry an cherry with mostly resolved tannin. I did not find it aromatially complex but still fun to drink and went great with a dish of lentils and chicken - I would rate this as very good but not excellent
