My first time experiencing this famous garage wine. Nose has intense tertiary impressions from mature oak, including soy, slight truffle plus loads of dark fruit. Rich mouth. Satisfying somewhat soft but well structured finish with mature tannins.

Lower neck fill, crumbling cork; provenance? Deep pure coloring, no bricking. Feint nose of dark fruits and whiffs of camphor, cassis and saddle. First taste astringent. Dark fruits were muddled in overarching tannins that never settled. 2nd bottle days later began similarly - dark fruits and tannin were better balanced after a 7 hour decant and glass time with little texture. Try again in 5 years.

Decanted for one hour before serving. Showing well already with plum, dark fruit, and cassis. Not a powerhouse but balanced and precise. Very enjoyable.

Light and mellow with earthy light raspberry; lean and balanced with soft finish.

Light and tannic; less fruit than tannin; still developing.
