PopnPour, tasted over 2 hrs -nearly semi-translucent light red with mild bricking -very aromatic complex funky spicy rhubarb mature elements -med acidity, a bit of spritz, light weight but med density some lingering red fruits candied spice rhubarb, med- tannins -really interesting and in no way tired despite showing some maturity (though this bottle seems a little less evolved than a bottle 18 months ago), as a bonus it matched well to pork-based Asian food, another fascinating example of this cuvee, kudos to A-R

Last bottle which is disappointing as this is such an interesting wine right now. The color as previously noted in a brickish brown throughout. The nose is very perfumed with notes of ceylon tea and cola. On the palate the tannins are soft and resolved but the acid is still present and providing freshness. Similar to the nose the most prominent flavors are of tea and cola - very different but really delicious. Light and enjoyable. I imagine these should be consumed within the next couple of years as I don't think this will improve much but is really good to go now.

2nd bottle
I'm revising my opinion. Actually a very pleasurable, although light and high acid wine
Great sous bois nose and plush texture.
Still very developed though so not to everyone's taste
