Encore ferme et droit, avec un peu de fruits, une belle acidité, des tanins présents mais agréables, une bonne longueur et une texture qui devient de plus en plus onctueuse avec les heures en carafe.

Based on my 1/1/2012 bottle, I thought I better open my last one before it was too late. What a difference with this bottle. Not light, not fading; this was somewhat tannic, somewhat closed, leather and some fruit, but not much. After about 1 1/2 hrs, a bit smoother and more open, but again, not much. This bottle needed more time, but I have no sense of what that time will result in. Interestingly, the cork in the 1/1 bottle was in good shape and came out with not too much force; this cork seemed like it was inserted yesterday and required mechanical help to withdraw.

Beaucoup de potentiel ici ! Belle bouteille bu sur une journée complète. Fruit acidulé et un peu tranchant au départ, développe beaucoup de profondeur et de rondeur avec l'aération. Beaucoup meilleur avec un plat riche (ravioli farci ricotta et sauce gigi). Excellent RQP Beaucoup de dépôt au fond de la bouteille. Entre dans sa phase optimate. À racheter dans les millésimes récents.

Still has come decent fruit and not particularly tannic. However, a bit lighter than I recall, maybe beginning to fade a bit. Still fairly pleasant.
