Bu au resto AVV Bistro La Fringale de Granby. Suave et fruité, plus en finesse que les autres vins bus en même temps. De la cerise, des prunes, du tabac et du poivre avec un peu de menthol Tannins fins et finale de longueur moyenne. Très bon mais pas au niveau des sublimes 2001 et grandiose 2004 bus à plusieurs reprises.

Last of 3 bottles - initially thought over the hill but with 30 minutes+ of air this wine was nice - I would drink this in the next 1-3 years as the fruit is starting to dry out.
Dark red/brown color. Barolo like on nose & palate - sour cherry, menthol, savory tobacco, sweet cherry/dried cherry - similar on nose & palate.
Medium+acidity, full tannins and verly long finish. I really enjoyed but would drink sooner rather than later as the tannins are still ripping (great with food though) and I don't think the fruit will last that much longer. 92+/-

Can't find notes - I really enjoyed this though. Savory (floral, earth / tobacco) flavor profile with nice sour cherry tart cherry fruit profile. 93+ Has improved from last bottle.

7/28/2019 - Smudge4! Likes this wine:
Black cherry, roses, eucalyptus, wood smoke on nose. Same on tasting with fine grained tannins- enough to carry it for several more years

Maybe not the best bottle. Just fine. Not my favorite vintage.
