Slight signs of dried seepage under capsule. Cork soaked through. Cork broke with ah-so so I decanted. Dark fruit (black cherry, slight blueberry, slight raspberry), tobacco, spice, slight earth. Good acidity. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

Very glad I aged this one and it did not disappoint, this could have been inserted in a left bank Bordeaux tasting & in fact I kept thinking dead ringer for a Leoville Barton of similar age from a ripe vintage. Smooth complex and well stored bottles should drink soundly for a while

Un vin surprenant pour l'âge.
teinte orangée typique pour l'âge.
Tannins en retrait. Magnifique douceur et harmonie.
Belle découverte.

Brilliant ruby. Very elegant nose of cigar, earth, pencil shavings, eucalyptus. Mouth is sweet, long, with splendid balsamic overtones.

Aromatic, leather, rounded cassis, dough, earth, and mocha nose. Med-full bodied with firm tannins, evolving flavours and balanced acidity. Long, complex finish.
4.5/5
