The nose is already richer than usual, with notes of strawberry and cherry mixed with blackberry and rose hip syrup. The attack is full of ripe - but not overripe fruit, mainly blackberry, but instead of then sinking into a quagmire of syrup as I feared it would, it rose gracefully into a quite a fresh middle section of cooler blackcurrant, finishing with strong notes of cherry and plum. More stuffing than the Citran, but less elegant.

Similaire à la dernière bouteille de juillet 2020.
Bon RQP, pas certain s'il vaut la peine d'attendre davantage.

4.0 Good wine from a great vintage. Even at 11 years of age this wine needs a couple hours in a decanter.
Traditional nose of black cherry, cigar box, pencil shavings, vanilla and clove.
In the mouth shows rounded, grippy tannins, mid-palate acidity and some alcohol in the throat. No doubt there are several years of life ahead.
Flavours of cinnamon, nutmeg, sour black cherry and loads of vanilla.
Sweet and spicy finish.

À un beau stade en ce moment. Bonne longueur, pas mal de matières, fruits rouges, tanins moy+, acidité moy-.
Bon RQP à 25 $ CA il y a 3 ans.
