Decanted 2 hours before drinking. Minimal bouquet, light ruby in colour, some fruit but nothing memorable. Drank with a Coq au Vin which simply overwhelmed this wine with its robust flavours. I will try another bottle with a less demanding meal to see if it comes into its own.

Tried this over three days with and without food. The kindest thing you could say about it's that it's firm and fresh - "pure" to use the jargon beloved of professional wine writers. But the fact is that this effort from Jadot offers next to no fruit, pleasure or character. Perhaps it will open up in the next few years. But I rather doubt it and at the moment it offers very poor QPR. Avoid.

Clear ruby color. Light body. Intense red fruit flavors as well as some stoniness. Brisk and refreshing, better after a one hour decant. Lovely wine, drinking wonderfully now.
