Slow ox. One hour. Big, full bodied, mouthful of fruit, a little alcoholic. Blackberry, herbs, smoke, licorice, smoke meat. Decent acidity but this is a bit roasted. Not sure where this goes from here.

Wonderful wine. On first day; opened 4 hours prior to drinking (but not decanted). Dark, with an inky dusty nose. Iron, beef blood and firm minerality. After an hour in the glass; great complexity with blackberries, blackcurrant, herb de province, iron and stony dust. Long finish with dark bitter chocolate and tobacco. On the second day same notes but more settled, delicate and with a lovely finesse. This is so good stuff. If drinking now; decant! 95-96P

Deep red colour. Blackberry and plum flavours, combined with leather and earth. Flavours are soft and some tannins at the end. Just opened so may revise comments after having it open for a while.

TOUR DE FRANCE: Classico vino che piace solo agli americani. Vino giovanissimo, primario, ancora sul frutto, sovraestratto e pieno di legno dolce. Pesante e di difficile bevibilità.
