  Dark ruby red, almost opaque, with pink rim. Blackcurrant, cassis, flowers, Provencal herbs, overripe raspberry, strawberry, pepper, spices, wood, dark chocolate and black truffle. Full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium-high tannin, medium structure, medium-high to high alcohol, and medium finish. Bold, open and intense. Still tannic on the palate, and a little coarse on the palate which was its weakness point.
  
  Wine still youthful and plenty of cellar life ahead of it. Tertiary aromas had barely emerged.

  Another bottle that was a bit flat and played out. Slowly making our way towards the last of these...

  Another year, another bottle... unlike last year's, this one's a little tired & played out. Leathery fruit, tertiary notes... not bad but also very much on the backed of the curve.

  Back to good luck with this bottle. Red fruit at pop, meaty / earthy core, decent length, good integration and soft tannins for a plush feel, good energy and not at all played out or flabby like the last bottle. Yum!
