compared to the bottle I had earlier this year, this bottle seems a bit tired. nose showed notes of stewed fruits, viandox on the top of the notes of the previous bottle. far from being dead but definitively more evolved. based on this one, I would drink up.

very good showing on a piece of lamb slow cooked for 7 hours. The nose is deep, very open, nice on fruits, spices and gentle wood and mushroom touches. The palate is smooth, almost velvety, with silky tannins and a lot of freshness. A classic elegant Bordeaux like but more fruit.

Not tired but certainly fully mature. Elegant wine reminiscent of aged Bordeaux.

Cigar box, black cherries, cassis and roasted red bell pepper. In stunning shape for its age.

Dark medium red. Ripe cassis and black cherry nose. Ripe, black cherry and plum flavours and a roasted sweet finish.
