From magnum, this wine showed some raw notes on the nose, beefy and chewy, in need of maturity. Dark rich color. The vintage dominates the terroir, it has a bit of rubber tire, syrupy and not particularly long finish. Others like it more than I did. (EMP)

HDH auction tasting at Tru (Chicago, IL): Definitely a bit ripe on the nose, but lots of red fruit flavours. Very broad on the palate with lots of tannin and stuffing. The concentration displays the ripeness of the vintage but sweetness isn't there. Very heavy tannins. Medium-length finish.

Dusty, unresolved tannin. Lacks the sweetness of others. Maybe an issue, recheck in 5-10 years

Medium ruby colour, immediately fragrant, crisp fruit on nose, elegant and round yet i would have expected more length.
