Aromatic nose, black fruits and quite floral with hints of black pepper. Fine tannins and decent acidity. This is a very correct wine. It was lovely, but will be better in 5 years.

Seemed thin upon popping at restaurant, but did open up over an hour to dark fruits and light oak. Still very light. Would be curious to cellar, but better value on restaurant menu.

Martine's Wines - Portfolio Tasting (Sofitel - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Black and red berries with meaty character and background spice. Somewhat burly today, this will benefit from time in the cellar, 5+ years? Good length and power. Good+ potential.

Martine's Wines with Martine Saunier (Formento's - Chicago IL): Tasting, brief note. Ripe black and red berries with perfume hints. Same fruit flavors with modest spice. Firm middle with slightly drying finish. Needs time.
