Nez d’écurie qui mettra du temps à disparaitre et nuira à mon appréciation. Toutefois, la bouche est typique des vins du domaine: une texture presque bourguignonne, un fruit un brin confit, gourmand, des arômes de dattes et de garrigue. C’est savoureux et toujours aussi bien équilibré, aucun excès d’alcool ou d’extraction, belle finale assez complexe. Mériterait plus si le nez se montait plus charmeur. Belle bouteille quand même. 90 pts

Edges of the glass are starting to fade a bit towards a brick color. Polished and elegant wine with a velvety feel. Dark fruits, spices, cacao, light notes of vanilla. The bottle was empty before I knew it.

Rich and inviting, plenty of (slightly jammy) dark fruits, black pepper and sweet, earthy garrigue spice. The balance is impeccable: it hides it's 14% very well and the smooth, fine tannin and good acidity keeps things supple, mineral and fresh. Drinking very well now ****

Excellent - delicious fruit (dark cherry) with a perfectly balanced acidity.
