  Au nez, la cerise, la mure et une touche poivrée. En bouche c'Est encore croquant et légèrement asséchant. Le bois c'est bien intégré et a laissé place au fruit. Encore quelque année dans le coprs. Une très belle surprise!

  Deep dusky red core and a little fade at the rim; quite oaky on the nose and savoury - fruit very hidden at this age. Some spice and licorice but not much more; smooth and flavoursome palate but again fully mature, sweet, fruit very reticent - oak showing itself and some drying tannin though the overall impression is very nice and this has a pleasant lingering aftertaste. It will be interesting to see if this opens up with time in the glass.

  very thick, dark, not really transparent. nose: full, long macerated fruits, some rotting wood - rather aggressive. taste: its really big... tea, rose jam; tannins in the finish quite jammy and thick; no acidity, only those rose accents give some freshness. This is robust and serious bottle but not elegant in any aspect.1 bottle for two is too tiring

  Extremely ripe fruits. Blackberries and some spices. Full bodied. The fruit is overripe and giving some slightly oxidized impressions. Drink now or soon.
