Medium garnet red with lighter edges. A little mute with some red mixed fruits on the nose with some spices. Dry with medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Better on the palate than the last time we tried this with some damp forest floor characteristics, mixed red berries and a little woody. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2026.

Initially Pnp. A bit harsh, with bite just before the finish. It appears unbalanced and slightly thin in the finish. 89- N7 B5 Fr 7 T6 F5
Some light perfume on the nose and the initial attack. Cherry and cassis on the nose too. Dry and dark mid palate. - Let me see what it is like in a few hours.

A bit brickish in appearance. The vintage definitely shows on the nose, damp forest floor, purplish flowers like lilac or lavender, truffles, a little green and red berries. Nicely layered. Medium tannins (7/10) and medium plus bodied. Beefed up with some air. Needs a healthy decant but has some notes of cherries, cedar, spices and a bit of earthiness. Drink till 2026.

Garnet color and not as red as expected. Probably the vintage impact.
Light forest floor, damp leaves and marmite. A lighter body with acidity and tastes at least 10 years older than it is. Some bitterness in the finish.
