A better bottle this time compared to 6 years ago. Wonderful tertiary character now with dried mushroom, leather and subdued dark cherry. Complete resolved tannin and gentle supporting acidity. Did start to fade towards end of evening. Drink now but can hold for a little longer.

3 + hr decant. Darker fruited wine, has enough tannins left to allow for extended cellaring, savage notes of burly fruit. Ripe and full flavored, oak fairly well resolved.

Another delicious bottle that did take some coaxing for that lovely nose of black fruits, spice, dark chocolate and earth to come up. Beautiful palate with plenty of grip and length but also a lovely line of flavour. Pure with oak well integrated.

A very good example of the best of the Dominique Laurent style from this period. Plenty of time in hand but beginning to drink well.
