From Magnum. Drank at Le Gourmand for Jo's B-Day. Showed medium weight on the palate with integrated tannins and good acidity. The aromatics on the nose were great. Lots of blue and red fruits in there with a little leather and tobacco too. It probably won't really improve with additional cellaring but I expect it would hold and drink well for the next 2 to 4 years.

We were afraid that this would have been beyond hope, and given that, we were pleasantly surprised. We echo the prior September 2006 tasting. It was smooth and easy to drink, but not a lot of fruit. All and all drinkable still.

Nose of mocha. Flavors were much more faded than the last bottle we had, but plum and licorice were still present. We won't hold our 2 remaining bottles much longer.

Chocolate nose with dark fruit flavors. Smooth and long finish. Not all of the group liked this wine, but those that did gave it an outstanding rating.
