  Very impressed by this completely delicious wine. Not overly aromatic - but clean fruit and a little wood and dried herbs. Palate is superb though with ripe and juicy blackberry and dark cherry fruit, lovely fine tannins and a smooth long dry but juicy finish. Excellent.
  
  Update for a couple of days air - this was even better - fleshed out even more, gained some depth and complexity. nose was more black fruit with some serious depth. Excellent wine. Upgrade to 93

  Décanté pour une heure. On arrivait à maturité, les tannins très fondus. Belle couleur tirant sur le pourpre, beaucoup de fruits au nez. Coulait très bien, pas de sur-presence d'alcool.

  From a good vintage with a long picking season known for its acid and elegance. Clear, medium+ ruby with sediment.
  
  Even after an hour decant the nose is somewhat closed. Notes of chocolate espresso and earthy red berries (hard to get past the coffee notes).
  
  In the mouth the tannins are fine and there is a lovely balance with persistent acid and warmth from the high alcohol.
  
  Flavours of chocolate, coffee beans, blackberry and cedar but lacking in intensity.
  
  This is young. Drink in 5+ years.

  C9dP with a lot of heat! plum, soft oak, leather, blackberry, tobacco, cinnamon, the heat is too dominant for my palate.
