Probably starting down the premox path. Dark colour that gets darker with air. Notes of apple juice and (high-toned) marzipan on the nose, as well as some unpleasant chemical elements as well. The palate shows sulphurous reduction which is all the more weird if this is actually oxidizing. Not a very good bottle of wine at all.

La couleur évoluée laisse présager l’oxydation. Ce n’est heureusement pas le cas, mais il est peut-être un peu plus évolué qu’il ne devrait, me dis-je. Le nez est un peu mielleux, citron confit, avec des notes de noix, des épices (cumin?). Évolution?
Et puis il y a la bouche, très belle, assez puissante, complexe et saline, d’une longueur fascinante, concentrée et complexe. Wow, ce n’était qu’une illusion! Jamais vu un moribond aussi en forme. Une sorte de mystère du vin. Un superbe vin d'une profondeur remarquable. 93 pts

Highly expressive, all sorts of yellow fruits, flower and just really light spicy ginger for the complexity. Lovely definition and salinity complexity over creamy, rich fruits and overall superbly balance. Very good persistent.
