Very young champion. Dark red color with purple edges. Restrained nose at the beginning. Opening up after 30-45 mins. A powerful full bodied complex cuvée that offer notes of dark olives, dark berries, dark chocolate, cedar, tobacco and tar. Very promising. Wonderfully texture, round and silky finish. More open on day 3, but still showing muscles and tannins. I am sure this beauty will develop over the next decade and be a pleasure even longer. Good qpr.

Still dark fruit heavy but has taken on some layered complexity. Heavy sediment.

A 12-year-old bottle that deserves a solid 93.
